Most pulleys are stamped with the percentage reduction. Maybe get a light in there for a good look.

Chances are you'd be fine with a 1379mm belt, especially if you don't have an underdrive pulley on the crank.

Yes, using the torque app it's around 14 psi
Not sure what stock should be?

That's probably a 15%. Stock is ~10psi. 17% pulleys are ~16psi+ I think.

That there is the rarely-seen MiniMania 3-piece 15% pulley of yore. Be vewwy qwiet and don't startle it in its natural environment.
