Sorry, the cam chain sprocket on the crank shaft...and with what tool? ..



Merci uktw125...

Give the man a break,His English is better than most of our French.

It's the cam chain sprocket on the crank shaft.

Christddel could teach most of us a few mechanical skills I,m sure.

Bite me, uktw125. I can't help him if I don't know what he is talking about.

I don't think the cam chain sprocket is intended to be servicable separate from the crank half. The sprocket is not available separately. It is sold only as part of the crankshaft assembly, or as part of the crank half sub-assembly.



Perhaps a jaw puller would work. http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1R2ACEW_enUS359&q=jaw+puller&aq=f&oq= Maybe a hydraulic press. http://www.google.com/search?source...&oq=hydraulic+press&pbx=1&fp=cd4bd38bf506aaa7



It may help if the large end of the crank half was frozen in a pan of water and the sprocket itself heated, though I can't see a press fit working for this application. There would have to be splines, a keyway and key, or locating pins to prevent spinning on the crank.

"panties in a wad" is an Americanism. We Brits say "knickers in a twist"

Qwerty, if you clicked on the link you would see that Christddel was not exactly asking a question but showing others how to do it if they were to ask this question.

I must confess I was a little confused until I clicked the link.

Also you have to remove that sprocket to replace the main bearing behind it. Whether thats a recommended method by Yamaha I don't know but if you need to replace main bearings it's a lot cheaper than buying a new crank assembly.

I didn't get my "knickers in a twist" I just thought that was a bit cruel considering someone was trying to explain a fairly complex technical term in a foriegn language.

Getting that bloody bastard off of there is one thing , but getting it back on in just the right place would drive me to buggers.. I bought a brand new XT225 shaft and was nervous as a dog s#!%%ing peach stones until it all went back together proprerly.. I'm sure it can be done .

Link? What link?



EDIT: Nevermind, I found the link. For some reason when someone posts a hyperlink using bold text it loses the underline on my computer and doesn't look like a link. Nice homemade tool, christddel. What did Yamaha use to index the sprocket to the crank?

 

[christddel]

Link? What link?

The Link--->...and with what tool? ..

I'll put new bearings and new kit connecting Rod.



The result ..







To reassemble, no problem, with some precision 1/100 mm

How does the speocket index to the crank? What keeps the sprocket from spinning on the crank?

Line the spot on the sprocket (or the center point of any tooth) with the center of the woodruff keyway and press it on with a hydraulic press.

It's the same method as most small Honda engines and their sprockets are available as a separate item.

I have done this several times and the sprocket has never moved.

Too bad Yamaha doesn't sell the sprocket separately here. Tdub has about 70,000 hard kilometers under her tires and I would like to install a new cam sprocket when the crank is stroked.

I will have a look through my spares and if I have a spare one from a low mileage redundant 125cc crank I will send it to you. No charge,I don't think the post would be much for such a small item.

I'll swap you a TW t-shirt.

I didn't want anything in return but I will take you up on the swap.

I will PM you when I have removed one. You are aware that it will not be new but a good used one.
