staggr500fb Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Hi all. Been having some issues with the metal spurgear. The gaskets seem to be melting. The metal spur gear dont seem to have any ridges for the gasket to slot in. Don't know if that is the problem. Or whether I'm being an uber noob at setting the slipper clutch up. Any advice would be great. Can't be arsed buying a set of gaskets after every run haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 My first question, why do you feel the need to have a metal spur gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex97 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Usually the reason for chewing up spur gears is due to a poor gear mesh. If you are melting slipper pads then something is wrong. Upload a photo of the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggr500fb Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 I would send a photo but I got rid of them. What I don't understand is that they use plastic gaskets for the spur. Why not high temperature compressed fibre? I've had a look around and I've bought a set of gaskets which are used on another model. Might have to trim em to fit. Hopefully will last longer. The guy I bought the spur gear from told me to tighten it from the nut to the shaft between 13 and 14 mm. Gonna give that a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
