Tech Talk / Re: Circlip on countershaft
« Last post by sleepy on June 29, 2024, 09:23:29 am »This is getting a bit old now but I only lust read it. Circlips are use on a few different brands with success and the one that comes to mind are the Narrow case Maico's including the 490's. The biggest problem going with a clip on a motor designed for a nut is keeping the oil in as the nut is generally used to pull up against a sleeve that the seal runs on and without it the oil find a way out but it will negate the need to oil the chain ever again. I did once against my advice machine a circlip groove into a KX250 shaft after the thread had stripped to keep it working and I didn't hear anything bad happened. A better repair would be to weld the shaft end and re-thread it but that is a difficult repair.

Husqvarna / Husqvarna chain sliders / defense 1981 to 1984
« Last post by Husabergpete on June 26, 2024, 07:39:37 am »Hi Guys,
We have been able to remanufacture chain sliders for the swingarm. Made from Australian industrial quality polyurethane. The template has been taken from an original OEM part. I have put details and photos up on the facebook sites like OZVMX and Hunter Classics so you can see the material and fit up on my 430 CR.
$40.00 AUD plus post from Wollongong NSW Australia.

The recent event at Conondale sold out weeks in advance (500 riders I believe.)
