Sprocket Retaining Plate.

  1. The front sprocket retaining plate on my ‘96 SL is a bit knackered and needs replaced. On Stein Dinse they show 2 very similar parts, 82610111A and 82610111A-Z - cant really detect a difference visually and I wonder if either is correct or one is better than the other?

  2. Z will be the newer one? I doubt there's much difference

  3. I've got one in the garage, can check tomorrow
     
  4. Thanks. Could I additionally ask if there should be what is termed on their website parts diagram as a “distance washer” ? There isn’t one presently and I don’t recall there ever being one when I’ve removed the front sprocket. They list sizes from 0.7 to 1.2.
     
  5. Not aware of any on the bikes I've had. Where does it go?
     
  6. Shows as fitted behind the sprocket, they list it as relevant for various models inc. Monster, SS etc. I’m guessing that as the sprocket and pinion lock (as the6 term it) fits a range of models, some do require this “spacer” washer.
     
  7. Some have longer output shafts, like the 748 and ST2

  8. Ok thanks, not required for mine then.
     
  9. Hi. This looks very interesting. I’ve always disliked owning bikes that have sprocket location of that design. You can’t beat a thread and a big nut or bolt from the off. However many makes, inc Honda do finish the shafts as shown. I’m looking forward to further info as promised. Could be a good seller!

  10. Whats this device look like on the other side? If its made from alloy, itll potentially get hammered (similar to sprocket plate) and not last long either.
     
  11. How much you selling these for? Sprocket plates are less than a tenner
     
  12. im looking forward to your write up!
     
  13. Tread lightly, because you tread on my dreams?
    Had to ask.
     
  14. It’s an old off roading expression/motto. Treat the ground with respect and leave little trace.

  15. Had a look on ebay, cant see it. Whats it called?
     
  16. $83 lol
    Some profit there
     
  17. I think I'd trust Taglioni and his designs on this,
    plus imported from the US you can double the price with taxes / postage as well.....

  18. Have I got this right??
    And I do appreciate that I may not have..I'm not an engineer.

    The inner cup has no splines on so is just a cover for the pinion shaft. The cover does not seem to function as the pinion locking plate does.
    Take the chain off completely.
    Remove the central fixing bolt.
    Even with the two hex bolts torqued up properly..would it be possible for the pinion gear to (theoretically) spin off in normal use. I think it can. If that is so, then what exactly is this device doing that's productive.
    The central bolt seems to do all the work (in this case) as I see it.
    Why not just have a central bolt and an appropriately sized spacer washer.

    Maybe there is a valid reason why this type of locking device was not used.

    As I said...I'm no engineer.

    Just my opinion BTW.

  20. Horses for courses. If it’s on display ie with no, or a slotted, sprocket cover I can see it selling. People pay 10£/€/$ to the likes of DBK & CNC per anodised screw to replace black screws so why not this?
