^ Don't do that. The real problem is that I'm not there with the parts. Honestly the best option would be to send the wheel and carrier to...
Curious. A 160 is not really that wide, you should not have had any issues with the chain guard at all. I'm assuming it was on the stock Ø18in...
The VF500F is not known for valve lash or can chain tensioner issues. That's not to say it isn't possible though. I'd check the condition of the...
I purposely made the spacers in the kit a tight fit to ensure that everything fit snugly. That's what Pat was referring to I'm pretty sure....
You absolutely MUST have that insert in the carrier bearing. Running without it is really bad and would cause all three of the axle bearings to...
I don't know fellas, I ride my bikes about as hard as anyone. Sure, I don't exceed 9000rpm, but that doesn't mean I use anything except 100%...
Well, about the only thing that stands out to me the surface where the carrier seats against. It's kind of hard to see in the pictures, but it...
Not likely at all. I don't put much past that ability for a PO to hose something up, but the force it would take to compress a swingarm - and...
Good thing I read this so that I could pull those carb springs out of the mail to Squirrel! I guess I'll be sending the directly to you then Matt?
Correct - that's the problem. I think at this point it's fruitless to try and fit the wheel up until the sprocket carrier issue gets resolved....
Wow guys, all of my VF500F's get in the 50's at at least. 225-250 miles per tank is no problem. Anything below 50mpg tells me there is a...
The VF500 and CBR cush drive are identical, so it doesn't matter. Normally I use the CBR ones, but only because they are usually in better shape....
The VF500 carrier has a small gap when installed in the CBR wheel, that is normal. The gap you show in your pictures is more than it should be....
From what I can tell - this is the whole problem. The pictures tell the story. This setup will work if you get that carrier to fit properly in...
Are you sure that the sprocket carrier is pushed into the wheel all the way? There should be a small gap where you can see into the cush drive...
No, not for the 500. It's 100% for sure a sprocket carrier that I modified. As Pat mentioned, it fit just fine on his bike. Normally when...
Per those pictures I can tell that it's a sprocket carrier that I machined so it is correct. Are you following the installation instructions I...
I couldn't find anything on their website about it. Is it a specail item that's made to order?
Don't worry, after a couple of weeks of sleep deprivation your eyes will be seeing lots of things that may, or may not, be there.
Chuck Crites.... there's a name I haven't heard in a while!!!
