I have been chasing down a whine in my bottom end of my te450.
Long story short, bought it with a broken kick stand stop, had no electric start. Bought the parts off a ebayer and thought it was complete. The parts manual is a little hard to understand. It seems there are two different spacers for the electric and non electric start. My "kit" did not come with one so I used the one that was in there. Not realizing it was scraping the case. I noticed the sound was present even in neutral so I started taking the flywheel off and the electric start parts. I found that the freewheel was scraping. After looking at the parts manual more it seems that I may be using the the incorrect spacer. The parts schematic shows 3 different spacers, I am not sure what goes where? I only have the one pictured below on the shaft.
So my question is, anyone know the difference between the two? Is it just length?
Also while the freewheel sprocket fits into the one way bearing nicely, there is a gap between the shaft and the sprocket. Is the sprocket supposed to just float on the bearing, or is there another bushing that should go in there?
I have can easily make a new spacer as I have machining capabilities. I just need to know the specs.
Thanks in advance,
J
