[oj250r]

it seems like the spacer on the right side is to big so i took it out and then there was to much play..like a 1/4 inch gap and like an 1/8 on the left side....i dont know...im lost....

[jak1389]

that might be your problem then;)

[oj250r]

here it is with the spacer out....

[theTman]

it would fit if it was a EX motor....:o

[MadMax27]

That dont look close. Is it aftermarket? maybe they left out spacers and bushings. Could it be for a 250R?

[MadMax27]

Oooo, a YZ motor.. You'll have to make yer own spacers.I would imagine that any bushing that would in the end of that swinger, would take up the outside gaps, but you'll have to machine your own spacer for the motor. :confused:

[yamablaster24]

you need bushings in there buddy

[oj250r]

i have the spacer but its to big on one side and not enough on the other....im sure if i get some bushings in there it would fix it but where do i get the bushings??? does anybody make any spacers for this application????

[oj250r]

what about the fact that my swing arm bolt is to small for my swing arm...how do i fix that??

You should beable to go to your local honda shop and ask for some bushings for that ever you have.

The spacers that you need are numbers 8 and 9 in the picture below. The left one is usually too long for the YZ motor so it needs to be cut. You also need bushings that go in the back of the motor to downsize the larger holes that the original YZ used if you don't already have them.

see thers a problem....my got them for my bike like a very long time ago and i dont know where he got them...:confused:

[jak1389]

well take it into a dealership and ask them, or is it speciffiacally for a conversion?

[oj250r]

im pretty positive that they are for my conversion...

Here is what you need to do. Cut the right one off about half way and put it back into the rear of the motor. Install the left one too. Then get the factory spacers and you will have to cut the tubes to length. Just to make sure, are the spacers you have the same inner diameter as the 400ex pivot bolt you have? If so, do what I said above. I also have the linkage you need for $25 and it's polished too. Let me know and I'll send it with the rest of your bolts when they come in and the spacers if you need them too. Hope this helps

ab****....is this right?? how much am i gonna do i nned to give ya??

The gap on the left side, you must use the factory spacer tube and cut it to the correct length. You need the factory spacers because you need to take up the space you have between your swingarm pivot bolt and your needle bearings. Your total including bearings and linkage is $45. I'll get it all on order. Let me know if you still don't understand.
