Tabbed Washer - Speedo Drive

[Akzle]

anyone got one? i've just been quoted 190$ for replacement unit ex-japan. all i want is a washer. just one washer!

failing that, anyone got bright ideas about an engineer that'd sort one out or a workshop i can borrow to do the same?

Go to a hardware store. They have tools and small piece of metal stock. You could make it in half n hour with a dremel (which you'd then still own for next time!!!), or a little bit longer if you're a tight cunt and only want to pay for basic hand tools. You'd be surprised how often you'd use a small file set, and they're dirt cheap Small files are oddly soothing, and even making simple things gives a reasonable sense of accomplishment... nothing like hand crafted

I had to make one for the gsx550ef speedo drive I just sold. Must be common fault.

I have one I just pulled out of my bucket bike. What sizes is yours.

You also have 3 hours between those posts and still no drive washer... that's enough time to have made 3 of the fuckers...

touché

but i really would rather something close to original spec, for the sake of balance/dimensions etc. if it really really comes to it, i will pursue

negatory bro. whole speedo drive unit is 190$ ex jap. they don't do individual bits but:
consisits of housing, worm gear, pinion, oil seal, this washer, retaining washer and snap ring.

well you've got most of it, why don't you seek out a skilled welder and add some new tabs etc.

Yeah fair enough too... my first port of call would've been a call to the OEM dealer and a 1 hour courier... but TBH I'm surprised you can't buy it as a single item

What model/year etc is it... maybe somebody can find an individual number for it and hey ho off you go

[jellywrestler]

or draw it out and get it laser cut... don't worry about balance etc, the weight is so minimal and it's right on the axle so wont matter a bit. what actual model is your bike?
