550 F2 started!

The chaps I refer to are on the four stroke off roaders not the road bike lot, I see your point though Ken, bit of closing the gate after the horse has bolted kinda thing int it.


I too have dropped a tin of molten wax on the kitchen floor at the grand age of 16...............on top of week old new lino. My mum beat the crap out of me with a slipper for that one

Dont think it was duckhams but some other gubbins we used to get from the guys at Acklams in town. There was never a better looked after TY80 in existance at the time, I loved it.

I agree, never carry a spare link, no need.  It definitely isn't a weak point, the load is taken by the solid link part, there shouldn't be any great side to side forces if everything is adjusted correctly and the chain and sprockets are in good condition. 

While we are on the subject, I would also recommend fitting a Scott-Oiler, marvellous contraption, maintains your chain in tip-top order.  I have one on my 500, hidden where the airbox used to go.  Cannot rate it highly enough.

Chain ordered, thanks peeps

Ken that bag came this morning with the gubbins in, cheers mate, I can get in now.

Although, whilst looking for some bits from my chippy box at the back of the bench, look what I found………….I bloody knew I hadnt lost it. Do you want yours back mate? The bloody thing had slithered down the back

I’ve had to order a gearshift drum stopper collar/washer bushing to get the mech put into the cases as that is missing also.
I’ve never seen it so deffo know it was never there which is a pain. I only looked at the fiche as I couldn’t suss how to fit it and discovered I have an issue!
There’s only two for sale and both in the USA so I’m waiting for that and until it gets here I’ll have to walk away from it which is a right pain as I wanted this back together before I take off for another 7 weeks again on the 15th

If anybody has one can I borrow it and I’ll drop you a NOS one back when I collect it while I’m over in the good ol’ US of A?

Quite hard to find at reasonable cost, even this one robbed me 10 bucks plus post

Part number: 24433-323-010

Thanks all.

If you're sending stuff up to me then yeah send it back so I can marry it back up with it's mate. If not then wait until you are, no rush.

STOP bloody buying stuff like that collar, I must have one of them lying around somewhere, ask first before spending money, it's not a problem and I'd sooner all my little bits like that get used than thrown away when I kick the bucket 

[Bryanj]

I will def have one you can borrow, will get to it on sat BUT as most of my books are put away at moment can you put up a pic of where it fits please

[Laverdaroo]

Bryan, you are a legend, I chatted to Ken earlier, not heard back yet but if you have one of those I will come up for it likea shot!!

Just landed in and having a brew, when I bob out to The Shed of Dreams' later I'll sort a piccy out and bob it up.

[Laverdaroo]

Yea gulped, …
It sits on the selector bits near the end of the shift drum. Bits it sits on shown, top case upside down showing area, on the fiche it’s number 12 Bryan.

Utter hens teeth this side of the Atlantic as far as I can tell. I reiterate, serves me right for excitedly buying a sh*tter! Should no better

[Laverdaroo]

If the weather's resonable I'll wobble up on the bike saturday morning Bryan if you manage to find one. Appreciate it mate, you're a good un

I have one in a small box that been in the shed since 1980 at least. I keep spotting it and opening the box and I remember it vividly. However, as soon as I want the damn box it's gone on walkabout, I remember moving it when I started to empty to shed but buggered if I can figure out where I put it. It will turn up as soon as you've found one.

I'll also have some in a huge box of bits that's in the garage but being such a small part it will be right at the bottom among hundreds of other little pieces. I'll keep looking though.

[Laverdaroo]

Can anyone clarify, I’m having a brain fart?

Is the third gear on here the wrong way round, I’m only getting half over lap on the counter shaft. .
If I turned it round it would line up but can’t remember if that’s right, the books. It that finite and I can’t tell.

Ta in advance……..
