The pulley and the rotor are not interchangeable. Just buy a new bike.

How are you telling that it is on backwards? Via the arrow or tread? The tread should push the water out and should match your front...

With 100 miles do as suggested by 93Horse, & mount it with the arrow in the proper direction.

Id just lay off the top end for a few miles.
