They told me this too after I asked them about spinning it faster and putting a smaller pulley on it. They immediatly followed that up by saying besides that you will also void the warranty and a couple other blatant liability statements which told me they were just saying that to persuade me not to use a smaller pulley.

So what do you think? Were they telling the truth?

possibly .. but I think it's more a disclaimer statement than anything.
