Secondary white spacer - Needed?
- Thread starter DusterB
- Start date
I removed mine but I only have one short ride on it that way so I can't say anything really other than it seems like it hasn't caused any problems so far. I put probably 20 miles on it. I should know more after this coming Sat.
If EZ shift is the same as a shift assist???....pull the spacer off, put on the EZ shift, then put the spacer back on. It must be tapered slightly, so put it on the same direction as you took it off.
Its fine to run without it. but your torrington bearing should fit over the sleeve nicely. this keeps it centered and with the right size bearing your spring should rest on the washer perfectly. If you have too small of a bearing and still use the plastic washer it can bend right over the bearing and start binding again. seen it before a few times.
If it wont fit, turn it over. One end is slightly smaller.
I think the 09s are different mine is the same on both sides. But if one from another year will fit I would like to know what year, and just throw it in there to keep everything centered.
if you are speaking of the white sleeve, this is the shift-stop. It keeps the clutching from opening too far. I doubt many mountain riders get a chance to do many full speed runs or have enough power to pull the belt all the way down to the bottom the secondary, but this is its purpose - to keep from shredding the belt on the helix at 100mph+.
Thats good to know I was wondering why it was in there.
Should you use this piece on the RKTek kit?
