I should have documented my Kodiak rebuild, it has been become quite a saga for me and one heck of a learning curve, but fun all the same.
I have put the old girl up on stands for the summer to do some repairs, I knew my drive belt was getting worn, on my last ride it was slipping a lot before it would drive, I found the belt was an even 1" wide, min measurement is 1.18", so that is stuffed.
I decided I would dismantle the clutch and overhaul that as well, I found it was bone dry inside with no indication that it was ever greased! The outer ring of the rollers has flat spots where it has been sliding rather than rolling, the inner weights(?) are OK with no marks.
Question-can I buy just the outer rings or do new rollers from Partzilla come as a pair of an inner weight and outer roller?
Any other suggestions where I can buy the parts?

I was really impressed how well this Kodiak went with these worn bits so I look forward to having it in action with new drive bits, I may not have bothered but I will fit a 1mm clutch shim washer while it is all apart, this thing will be unstoppable.
