Thirty Two tooth rear sprocket, NOS Yamaha, showed on my porch Friday.
I compared the diameters of the 34 tooth original sprocket. Liked it and moved forward. Fit the hub Perfectly !
I had to scuff and clean the rear brake drum a bit and clean the shafts and such. Turned out just fine as the rear brake now feels very solid, even, and strong! Fine EBC shoes came with the project.
Carefully aligning all the rear axle shaft components at around the 4th axle mark back turned out to be just right for chain tension. Very pleased about that axle location in the adjustment range.
Nice Hardware upgrades again plucked out of my dwindling hardware stashes...
Here are some pics of a great turnout out back.
However, while setting the chain tension and checking front chain guide clearance... here's where the setback of the day showed up.
Cleaning the countershaft sprocket area behind the sprocket revealed how this bike must have died, the wire harness from the stator behind and under the chain have a rub thru into 2 of the rectifier white wires. This took some time to open up and clean off in preparation for a splice/repair.
So the rear fender got side lined one more time as I just ran out of time. It is on there but wrestling back as I attempt to align two of my custom drilled slot/holes lol..
I think I will create a seat mounting system of rubber on blocks under the seat and a release/strap rear anchor.
Final Pic today , I have to run -RT
