rear sprocket

[rosco]

Just had a look at DSS and they list two types  The type i have (chrome end for tommy bar ) is for the  F & F1  The long bolt type Julie has is the correct type / style for the F2 Although the parts manual lists this as fitting F & F2 So i guess they are interchangeable as the bearings are the same for both   Ross

I wonder if  both types are the same length overall Ross? Would be interesting to know just out of curiosity really. But, as you say, they both fit and do the job and that's all that matters.

Picking my words carefully  My rear wheel spindle measures from under the head a tad over 10.1/2 inches Approx Just under 27cm

If you look in the Honda manual it shows the nut on the sprocket side . If the swing arm has open fork ends then it makes no difference which way the spindle is in as it doesn't have to be removed to take the rear wheel out.

Mooney is quite right. I'm sure the Clymer manual clearly says that on the 400f you remove and replace the whole rear wheel assembly without needing to remove the spindle and adjusters.

Absolutely right TSD   But the original question was which side the nut should be Sprocket or Brake And assuming theres room it won't matter which way its fitted The spindle type i have is with chrome end with use of tommy bar and wrong for the F2( although fits ) The F2 should be a long bolt type and seems Nut  side to sprocket There is confusion within the parts book showing nut to sprocket and  service manual showing nut to brake?? As i  have no idea what the previous owner has done Just asking for clarification of nut position

Yet another caffeine intake has spiked the memory bank again, and guess what?  Quite a few years ago I purchased a pair of replacement shox purported to be just like the "Real Thing". Yeh they looked fairly similar, so off came the rusty OE ones, (which still worked ok). had to change all the fixing eye rubbers etc., and on they went, nearly! Had I measured them? Nah! They were fractionally longer which meant the wheel spindle fouled the silencer. Solution - elongate the fixing hole for silencer and slide it out a fraction. Solved - Nah! They were that long that when bike was on centre stand the rear wheel was nearly touching the floor still and when putting the stand up it missed the rubber foot and fouled the chain, Oh blow! Adjust rubber foot slightly, take bike off stand, sit on saddle and could barely reach the floor!! Bugger this, purchased the ones seen in pics, perfect copy and size, move silencer back just enough for centre stand to connect with rubber stop. THAT'S the reason I can fit spindle with nut on brake side! All that needs checking now is the nut un the saddle. Regards, Michael.

My type measures about the same Ross. Got the measurement as close as I could but, difficult as its.fitted to the bike and i dont fancy taking it out today 😊😊😊

 The Honda service manual shows the nut sprocket side. 3 pages on which side to put a nut. Gotta smile. G ;Dood to tell its raining.  By the way my 350 spindle has tommy bar end and I have the nut on the brake side because I am a rebel.

Haha Chris, very true, must be the weather. But, saying that, its always interesting listening, learning or being reminded of something, it keeps the old grey matter buzzing and saves me doing housework 😊
