Transmission

Why do the transmission bearings only have half rings to locate them, when the ring groove is completly around the bearing, and on both halves of the case? .... or am I missing 2 half rings?

 

I think they are Thrust Washers; not bearings actually. What does the Parts Site Call them? Let's see.

If they are the two on either side of the Middle Gear, they are only 1/2 on each side. You aren't missing the other sides. Those are Thrust Washers and the site calls them "Clips".

Good question.. but all Yamas use(d?) the half rings for bearing locators. Has worked Fine.. so far

 

25-Years and still running on the two XJ-Bikes I have in my stable.

The totally de-blacked and de-gold plated former 750 Midnight Maxim and the Seca-900. Both running good and fun a plenty.

The Max was so much fun to ride I didn't take the 900 out much all season!

 

Thanks guys ... I will continue then ....

 

Re: Transmission (please have a look Rick)

You can see the wear on the gear teeth in this photo ... to me (humble opinion) that still looks good to go. The engine has 60,000km on it, but this just looks like a few cases of "can't find em' - grind em'. I'm thinking still lots of miles on these. What do you guys think?

 

Amigo, I could give you a much better opinion if the photo were in focus. Right off hand I would say you are in good shape, but I will with hold that judgement until we see better pictures.

 

They look okay top me, as long as none are broken and arent worn down too bad I would say your good to go.

 

OK I"ll clean my glasses and try again

 

Here it is again, outside in the sunlight[/url][/img]

 

Sorry, this is my first go at posting pictures, double click on the image to make it bigger.

 

I like the other picture; better.

Still isn't enough detail to say one way or another!

 

I'm trying the 2nd imageshack option

 

Another angle maybe.... that dam auto focus

 

OK, so I need a course in Photography too.

 

Sorry amigo, no joy and usually the third time is a charm. The page the case is resting on is clear, have you tried to step back?

 

Well this is a third try[/img]
Testing...testing

 

Again
