Pulley rubs on sprocket cover
01/17/18 at 20:34:38

I am finishing up the stator repair. As I am putting the sprocket cover back on, I noticed some shallow circular scrapes inside the cover, obviously put there by the sprocket rubbing on the cover. see the pic

Have any of you had this happen? If so, what causes the problem, and how do you fix it?

The only thing I can come up with is to put shims (washers) between the case and the three mounting surfaces around the three bolts, to move the sprocket cover away from the case the thickness of a washer,.. maybe .050"

That pulley has never been off. The bike only has several thousand miles on it.

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.

That and the cam chain tensioner coming apart are the two worst thing that can happen to your motor.

The thicker rubber cushions go on the inside.....the thinner ones go on the outside.

Excellent idea.
