GEN 1 Supercharger noise

[andreas.borgmann]

Check this out, the Sc pulley is wobbly and mad noise coming from it, like a nuts and bolts flying around in side. it’s been getting worse over the past weeks, but this morning I could not go on any more.
22500 miles or36k on the clock.
Any one hard this problem and what do I do?
It’s a 2014 model.

Probably just a bad coupler. It's really the only thing on the blower that is user serviceable other than the oil.

Edit: Now that I think about it some more, if the front pulley is wobbling, it has to be a bearing. The coupler just transfers the power, it doesn't locate the front pulley shaft.

What he said... Sounds like a bearing to me. I'd stop driving it until you get it fixed. If the pulley and belt come loose, there's no telling what they will take out with them.

Concur. Bad bearing.

Also concur. Would not drive until fixed.
