Chain case top gear floating?

[Fast Lane]

Does the top gear float on the jackshaft? I have a bit of a gap between the 36mm nut and washer.

 

[theCATman]

No. It should be tight. The nut won't go any farther??

 

[Fast Lane]

No thats it. If I adjust the jackshaft so the washer touches the top gear, then the woodruff key for the brake rotor wont fit.

 

[theCATman]

And that's how it was when you pulled it apart?? No other washers??

Happen to have mine apart and the washer and nut are tight against the top gear:

 

[theCATman]

I just had the chaincase apart on my 08 Vector and I'm 99% positive the top gear wasn't floating.

 

[theCATman]

I think you're missing a spacer/washer behind the top gear.

Im missing a spacer between the bearing and top gear ffs. No idea where it went too. I hope Yamaha can ship parts ASAP!!!

 

[RAMSOMAIR]

Likely back ordered until March lol.

 

[Fast Lane]

Its being rush shipped. I wasn't sure which collar so I ordered both lol. Im positive its the one right behind the top gear. Add some more random parts to the parts bucket!!! lol

Anyone know much about top gears? I have a 21 tooth gear. I heard the vector has a 22. An Apex has a 24. Could the 973cc pull the Nytro up to a faster top speed with a 24 tooth top gear?

It'll pull it, you'll lose bottom end power. And you'll need a longer chain also to jump 2 teeth.

A stock Vector is over geared, and the RS Nytro was under geared. If you look in the TY tech pages you can find the factory gearing specs, pick a ratio in the middle that’s gonna work with your stock chain and enjoy better fuel mileage with a little more top end. Note: you may need to tweak your clutching a little bit.
