Sidewinder upper gear with oiling hole?

No problem here all good I just think if you like the power of the Winder you will be disappointed with the 900T even with tune they are only stock Winder power but I guess there is only one way to find out.

Only reason I’m waiting. Lol
But if I’m going to be honest. The seasons I’ve had more fun are the seasons I’ve had something slower or on par with others.
Not a whole lot to challenge a stock winder, much less a tuned one.

Just wanted to throw some info out there after breaking the chaincase open and inspecting the OEM top gear(21t) with the 3 oil holes.

I installed this gear pre-season last year and put about 1300 miles on it since. Not many, but the vast majority was at 300 hp. I felt like the manual advised 1 1/2 turns was much too loose at the time so I tightened it up so there was basically no slack in the chain. Which was, tightened as much as i could by finger and backed it off a 1/2 turn. Chain had over 2000 miles on it at the time running mostly the 270R and 290R tunes. So today with it apart I notice the tension-er is just about an 1/8 inch away from the locking bolt and the chain has a good amount of slack. I thought the top gear bushing would be garbage ,but low and behold it was mint. Looked like i had just put it in there. Now the question is....Is this chain done stretching? I basically left the locking bolt in the exact same position as it was, nearly an 1/8 away from the tension-er thinking it may have just settled in at that point.

Tighten it at your own risk!

My same experience on 280 & now 320 tune. 21T top gear bushing looks like new after about 2000 miles this winter on 320 tune. However, gear teeth faces look like there is severe pressure against them by the chain (and there is @ 320 ). Gonna need a new gear and chain every year. Bushing looks like new.

Wow. My teeth looked mint. One thing i noticed that will be replaced next time around was the cir-clip had a little where on it like the gears wanted to push towards the cover.

Tune? Studs? Lube?

I'm using the Spectro Full synth and it comes out looking like you just put it in there. Clean as can be. It's bright pink.

What I find unusual is the fact it’s not on the drive side of the gear, or are both sides like that?

What size top gear?

 

[fatchance]
