Hi all as you are aware I've been interfering here for a week or so.. well I'm right into wr250 rebuild and I need the part number(doesn't exist) for the idler mount that's in the case right next to the kick-start gear. So if any one has replaced this part, repaired it or started too manufacture more I'm looking for three. Will be putting out the feelers and starting my own enquiries for manufacture. Hardened and ground so the needle roller doesn't eat it. This bikes a 2001.
Looked! May look at whole cases. An waiting for a few 40x17x8mm bearings to turn up before start sweating. Need to get this thing up n running an punted out, looked at getting the nub turned down and sleeved also considering boaring out the gear and turning down nub to stick ball race on it.... not going that route cus the factory Didn't.
If I went bronze bushing I would have it fully floating and not bonded to either gear or the stub. It may come to that yet.
Press fit bushing then hone ID for clearance on stub shaft. Spiral oil grooves in bushing, will last long time. Once set up make several bushings for future spares. Later George
So got two alum bronze bushes press fitted on the stub (thanks George!) And waiting for my crank to come back... sooooo tired of waiting for this bloody crank.
