Rear sprocket

Newfie · 08-10-2016, 07:43 PM

Should there be play in the rear sprocket?

gv550 · 08-10-2016, 08:36 PM

Axial, no.
Rotational, yes. There is a rubber cush drive between the pulley and wheel.

When I put one hand on top and one hand on bottom and move back and forth I am getting about 2mm of play?

Depends..... Are you trying to move it axial or rotational?

Play is axial

I'm thinking this is my belt alignment issue

Should be no axial play, sounds like your pulley hub bearing is toast. Not difficult nor expensive to replace.

There are rubber bushings/spacers. From the side of your bike you can grip your rear sprocket top and bottom then push on the top while pulling on the bottom. There will be a little bit of movement which is perfectly normal. I'm not sure if this is the movement you're talking about tho

yes that is the movement I am talking about. from push to pull I had 2mm of movement with a ruler on my rim to the edge of my pulley.

I noticed that when I first got the bike. Coming from a shaft drive 1500 I was a bit concerned until I found out about the rubber bushings. I just check them every rear tire change to make sure there is no wear......then forget about em

my bushings are like new and when I pulled my hub from my rim the bushings are that tight that they come out with the hub. The movement is the same if I put the hub back on without the bushing in the rim.

I don't know what to tell you, I've never put mine on without the bushings. My gut feeling is that it's fine tho. I'm almost willing to bet the slight movement is still there after you replace the hub bearing as its just the way they are built. I checked out a Voyager and a Vaquero in the showroom....both do the same thing.

Ok so I drove 3 and half hours today and picked up my new bearing. while at the Dealer I was talking to the mechanic there and telling him my story about the movement in the back pulley. He didn't think the bearing was the problem and that there will be movement in that pulley with them bearings. He also had a VOYAGER there for a oil change and checked the pulley on that one and it was the same as the movement in mine. So this was a waste of time and money for me. I was telling him about the whining noise comimg from my belt and he never had much input other then what I was doing. so i got everything back the way i did before i replaced the bearing with the right side adjuster almost ahead one full notch.

No noise at all and the belt track to the middle of the pulley most of the time but sometimes it's just off the right side of the pulley.
