Excellent. Are you actually gonna save some for me this time? Not that I didn't enjoy that awesome lemon meringue pie.

you betcha....well if you make it over in time that is......when is your comming over again?????? :P

I've got the parts ready now. Coming to get it, or do you want me to drop it off?

bring it by if you want fudge :)

you can see the project as well

mmmmm fudge ....tasty tasty fudge :twisted:

Sent you a text, but didn't hear from you. I know that you turn into a pumpkin after 8:30.

ya I can come over tonight if you want but don't know if the fudge will make it :wink:

got the swing arm installed but only enough room for one washer on one side

I am guessing that is why there were rubber ones?

as for making sure the two sprockets line up the only other thing I can see is to shim the sprocket over

here it is where it is always bolted (nuts and washers removed and bolts slid back)
you can see that the chain isn't quite in line

here is where the sprocket has to sit to be in full line with the front

spacer ? (2 piece preferably )

My guess is that the sprocket was never in line. As long as the chain isn't too tight, it shouldn't be an issue.

If you want to correct it, try to determine the distance that the sprocket needs to move in order to be perfect. That amount could then be cut from the left side of the swingarm for proper alignment. I wouldn't space the sprocket, because that puts it too close to the rear end housing, and it should bear against the hub.

I put it back where it is supposed to be and re-bolted it together but will give it a bit more slack in the chain as it seemed a bit tight.

now seeing as I could only get one washer on one side is the other side going to wear on the new bushing ?

going out riding tomorrow so will let you know how it works.

I wouldn't worry about it; just slather it with grease. You might not need any washers between the swingarm and the frame.

Did you ever get any fudge, Weld? :?: Inquiring minds want to know! :?

Spud :lol:

I just tore the swing arm off the new Rebel T1 and it had no washers. After taking it out there was gap that looked like a washer would fit but in fact all they did was torked the bolt so tight it sucked the frame into the swing arm tube. I added a grease fitting and threw it back on without any washers and loose enough that there was a small gap on both sides. Worked out fine and there is a place now for the grease to exit on both sides now. The swing arm moves alot better now that the frame is not binding it up on the two sides. If anything I would put a couple thin nylon washers on it.

I was thinking that nylon washers (or similar) would be a good idea as well.
