YZF 750 swingarm
Folks, I'm doing some serious fettling of my TRX (YZF750 SP front end, YZF 750 rear, big bore engine, flatslides, akrapovic, R6 back end etc) and one of the problems I have at the minute is that the YZF swingarm and 180 section tyre puts the rear sprocket about 3mm further outboard than the original TRX.
As I see it I have two options
1) get an offset front sprocket made up - easy but puts more strain on the output shaft bearings
2) machine 3mm of the rear sprocket carrier to move the sprocket back to the original TRX position. This is also fairly straight forward and is also attractive because it won't strain the gearbox output shaft.
however...........
the problem with option 2 is that the plastic slider that fits over the the swingarm at the pivot end, will not longer line up with the chain if I do this.
The slider seems to be a fairly important bit that stops the chain chewing through the swing arm!
Does anyone have any idease for how I can get around this?

When I fitted my YZF arm it needed a spacer on the LH side between the frame and the swingarm pivot.... I think my arm had been modded to fit an FZR1000 Genesis or something. Anyway; with this done and the sprocket carrier machined down 3mm it lined up with the chain slipper spot on....

came from an ex bsb bike ,there was a guy in snadbach that was breaking a couple of whithams old bikes, think there from something else that had been modded to fit , thats where i got the hole front end from, it was either that or the harris factory swing arm he was getting shot offhonkdawillydahonk wrote:When I fitted my YZF arm it needed a spacer on the LH side between the frame and the swingarm pivot....

im just confirming what everyone else is saying..
Flip your rear sprocket around. It should have a slight machined indent which faces the outside, just unbolt it and make it face the inside.. Works well. Ive done it. (but i also got a dished front sprocket which i made, but you wont need it.)
