I’m looking for alternatives to the Yamaha version of this top gear for my 2015. I’m familiar with the DMC Top Gear that he’s made for the Sidewinders, but that won’t fit our Vipers since the Viper is 13W and the Winder is 15W. I also think there are some chaincase differences between them too with the shafts.
Is there a CAT version of 24T top gear that is the same as the Viper?
Has YAM done anything to their part number 8JP-H4310-10-00 over the years to improve the wear situation?

No problem yet, just trying to see what is on the market to address the issue without getting into the very long thread about bushings and Winders.

You could change the bottom gear and chain to make it all wider if you really want that set up.

Yes I believe the drive axle is the same , just the outer part of the gear are wider to accept the wider chainYou could change the bottom gear and chain to make it all wider if you really want that set up.

Now that I think about it, the bottom gear is narrow on a Winder, so only the chain would need to be changed.Yes I believe the drive axle is the same , just the outer part of the gear are wider to accept the wider chain
