I purchased one from Norbo recently and it's a genuine head gasket for £28..

Hi Tony. The cush drive rubbers might be a bit of a distraction here. Did you notice any play in the set up before you replaced them? A suggestion might be to take the rubbers out and put everything together and measure up between bearings and spacers etc. Also assemble the whole thing on the swingarm and tighten up as normal without the rubbers. You will be able to see any play anywhere in the set up as it sounds like possible between the cush drive inside spacer, bearing and outside spindle spacer. As the cush drive is supported on a single bearing the lateral movement might be from there. Just my own thoughts without seeing the bike. John Hi John, The old cush drive rubbers were packed out with bits of rubber, that's why i replaced then, thought they must be shot, to be honest i hadn't previously checked for any play. I will remove the rubbers at the weekend and tighten it back up as normal and see what i can find, the bearing in the cush drive is new and the spacer seems to fit snugly into it, the outside spindle spacer has a groove worn in it by the seal but apart from that it looks ok, not sure what the correct thickness of the spacer is meant to be though. Tony

Bare: I'll give that ago.
jonw: That's why i got original rubbers as I've read that some pattern ones are shit, the hub doesn't even sit up against the rubbers, it's as if the hub spacer is to long, which is highly unlikely, unless someones had a new one made and it's the wrong length, I've checked to see if the bearings are seated properly and they are, bit of a head scratcher.

I guess thats a 31K then, but look at the parts fiche on Xaviers site it does look like the damper is 29L-25364-00 and comes in 3 parts Yes it is shaun, i even double checked to make sure the dampers they sent me have the correct part number on the packaging and it does..

What bike is it for? 29L is the normal code for the Japanese RZ250R circa 1983. Parts could be used on other bikes i assume. 350 YPVS LC2

jonw: Got the rubbers from Fowlers 29L2536400 muttsnuts: no force needed at all and yes the bearing spacer is in the carrier bearing PICT2702 by Anthony Baker, on Flickr PICT2703 by Anthony Baker, on Flickr The number on the carrier is 29L00 Tony

When i tighten my back wheel up i get movement in my sprocket carrier, i don't mean clockwise and anti clockwise, there is rocking movement in it, the wheel and sprocket carrier bearings are good I've also fitted new genuine cush rubbers, spacers seem fine, is the sprocket hub meant to be a tight fit to the cush rubbers or should it just drop in.
Any ideas??
Tony

All the ones I’ve done are like that. Just a couple of gentle taps and there in. Always seem a little ‘loose ‘ to me me so I always use a little bearing lock on them.👍 I was considering knocking it back out and doing the same, don't want to damage the seal though, can't see it moving though ( hopefully not) fingers it stays where it is.

Fitted a new water pump bearing today, was surprised how easy it went in, didn't take any effort at all..

Do you know if the cable adjuster is the same? it's not on Fowlers parts list Tony

I'm in the process of changing the clutch perch on my LC2 to the correct one.
What clutch lever do i get for it? is it the same as a 250/350lc or does the LC2 have one of it's own?

Just want to double check which way round the oil pump and impeller shafts seals go. The oil pump seals number side faces towards the Crank ? and the bevelled edge of the impeller shaft seal goes towards the impeller? Tony PICT2694 by Anthony Baker, on Flickr

Well that’s not the correct clutch perch for an LC2, so that is most likely the cause, you can always get a replacement cable made up by Mutts or get the correct perch and go from there. Thanks Shytalk,

Hi Tony Loosen off the cable Push the actuating arm by hand towards the pointer until it stops Hold against the stop whilst adjusting the center bolt until the two pointers align Hold the center bolt with screwdriver while locking the nut Adjust the clutch cable to take up the slack but leave a little free play If the cable is still too loose add an extra adjuster where it clamps on the casing under the carbs Alternatively get a nos cable Matt Thanks for replying Yogi, will give that a go, was also thinking of getting the cable shortened, not many places that do that local now though.

The hose was made to measure off the original I'm away working until 17th ATM, however when i get back i can measure the length for you if someone doesn't have that done for you by then Thanks.

Sorry for going over old ground, i have read a few of the clutch adjustment threads and i just need to clarify a few things. 1/ Where it says in the manual to set the clutch cable so that the clutch actuating lever aligns with the index mark on the casings, i take it means the pointy out bit in the photo, if that's correct then i don't have enough adjustment in the cable, i have purchased a replacement cable from Norbo (see photo) so it's not down to the cable being stretched and the clutch arm is new. 2/ If i take all the adjustment out of the cable and set the clutch up like that, then pull the lever in the actuating lever lines up with the mark (don't think that's how it's meant to be done though) when adjusting the clutch centre screw it says to back it off a quarter of a turn, once done you have a little free play in the centre screw and nut, which i believe is correct? when i take up any slack in the cable that free play goes, i believe your meant to have the free play so there's no constant friction on the ball bearing and pusher rod, is this correct? PS i should have cleaned that carb before fitting it. PICT2686 by Anthony Baker, on Flickr PICT2688 by Anthony Baker, on Flickr Many Thanks Tony

Hi Tony, Being 'off the shelf' doesn't guarantee them being the correct size, unless it's a Yamaha shelf and even then the parts can be wrong or superseded... Try to find an original to measure if you want to be totally clear. It shouldn't be rubbing the swing arm. Hi reggieperrin, I threw the original away when i fitted the hose that's on it now, didn't think about comparing the two at the time. Maybe someone on the forum still has an original and could measure it for me.

Haven’t done anything different Your hose is too long by about 3/4” You will also find that the original rubber hose is of larger diameter and thus is a snug fit into the bracket, so a cut pice of rubber placed over your line may well solve your issue as well HTH hblair, That's 2 off the shelf rear brake hoses that are to long, did you get yours made to measure or was an off the shelf product?? Did the original hose have a rubber grommet on that went into the guide or was it just the hose itself ? on Fowlers parts list it looks just like a hose. Thanks Tony

Morning All,
It was suggested that the brake hose may be to long, i have recently purchased another hose and to be honest there isn't much in it, 3-4mm so i can't see this making a difference.
There must be other owners out there with braided rear hoses on standard swings arms, what have you done different to prevent this.
Tony

Hi, just fired the bike up ready for it’s MOT, charged the battery and rode it which was all good but... 1 the power valve servo is ticking when I turn the ignition on, it does it’s open and close thing, then ticks, I took off the tank tried it again and it seems okay, but it’s intermittent now, does that mean the battery is dicky or the servo ? 2 Rev counter not working, I took it off as I had to change the surround and now it’s just dead, could this be connected to the above? There are only the 3 wires to the Rev counter, does this look right? pic below My power valve servo used to do that and it gradually got worse, tuned out to be the power valves being all gummed up and not allowing the servo to return to it's correct position, hence the ticking sound.
