Blaster Fix up!

Sprockets:

My swingarm is in horriable shape if i knew it was this bad i woulda tore it down before this.

What worried me was this.. Looks like the inside of the swing arm is breaking, or is that a bushing?

That's what it looks like after the needle bearings turn to powder and disappear. I suggest coating the bolt with anti-seize on assembly. Might think about grease zerks for the bearings too.

Grease nipples, that you put a grease gun on and pump the grease in.

A word on the sprockets "Trash", both of them.

Promise me you will not even dream of fitting a new chain on them.

PS, I have stolen the sprocket pics for my data bank.

Only thread I knew had pics. A stock arm might be little different. After you drill and tap might have to grind inside down a hair. Install with red loctite

Trust me, i will not use them again. I got all new things bookmarked.

How easy is it to install one of those?

Also what size is the Hub bolt? Googled, and searched forum, can't find it...

 

[Larry's Shee]

Sprocket nuts? 12 or 13mm. Axle/hub jam nuts? I think 55mm

The nut at the end of the rear hubs connecting them to the axle. The castle nuts.

Still need to know the hub bolt size...

But i will need the seals around the break disc when i start putting things back together, is there a kit? I didn't Google because i don't even know what to look for.

my experience is you can't find the castle nuts needed for the ball joints or the axles at the local hardware store, this is the only nut or bolt my local ace hardware has failed me on, the grooves in those castle nuts were not deep enuf to hit the hole with the cotter pins

i'd order the correct ones from ebay ?

Thank you for that dust cover link!

And i meant what size wrench, i'm trying to get them off but i don't have the wrench size.

 

[Larry's Shee]

As far as what to "call" a part, any site with stock Yammy parts is good to look at. I use Bike Bandit. Next time I go out for a smoke I'll see what size the nuts are.

 

[Larry's Shee]

Axle hub nuts are 22mm

Axle hub nuts are 22mm

I'll go look on bike bandit.

Thanks for that link and for that wrench! I:I

Are there any benefits of going up to a 14 tooth sprocket?

 

[gizzy2014]

i have to 14 tooth on mine, just makes it alittle faster than stock,

 

[Longview]

I just ordered a 14 might as well try it, you think i should go up or down for my rear sprocket too?

 

[gizzy2014]

i left mine at 40 stock... but u may wont to ask someone with alittle more knowledge on this matter for the rear one

Do you realise that if you run that new 14 with an old chain you are tempting providence.

The old chain will quickly wear the new 14 out.

I have experienced times that an old chain has broken trying to accomodate the pitch of the new sprocket.

Sprockets and chains should be kept as matching sets.
