    Anybody got a video tutorial link of how to mount the K2-K8 Z50 rear wheel sprocket studs and then the how the sprocket mounts securely to them over the spline grooves with horseshoe washer and the lock nuts without coming loose? I cant believe there is not already a video of this type of sprocket mount assembly

    • @franklincycles7462
      @franklincycles7462 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The studs are just screwed into the hub of the wheel, then you install the rest sprocket and tighten the nuts

    • @craighart4186
      @craighart4186 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@franklincycles7462 Yes, I did that, and screwed them down fully until it stopped at the stud non-threaded area the sprocket sits on, but there is a spline area above that and a shorter thread area for the lock nut. So then even if the lock nut is tightened down, it cannot pass the spline area to seat up against the sprocket, and diagram shows no bushing sleeve to make up the difference. The sprocket would be loose if I use these, I did install the hub studs anyway and seated sprocket over them against the hub, then tried to see how this wheel fits between the swing arm, well it doesnt, the studs stick out too far and hit the swing arm. So these cannot be used for a Z50 hub, and the only video I seen regarding a sprocket mount shows a sprocket with 8mm flange bolts securing the sprocket to the hub with the horse shoe washer as well. And that does work to fit in the swing arm and have sprockets in chain alignment. So studs get taken out, flange bolts in, problem solved. parts diagram on chp web site is wrong.

      I had someone else who asked to, I think I had responded in an earlier message. There are a few types of tools u could use, a large flat screwdriver or a tire iron. Once the upper leg is removed from the lower tube, u just pry it up by using the top of the lower tube. . Thanks for your question

If u r not sure of the year of the engine then u r going to have a problem fini the correct one. On the Honda parts list for the engine , they do not specify length of the valves, just the part number . The only suggestion I can give u is remove the valves from your engine, measure them then when u order the new ones ask the place yo measure them to confirm that you are getting the correct one.

    This is good stuff. The only problem is that the primed surfaces bolted together and the primed surfaces against the tube are not waterproof. Primer is not designed to be the final coat. A good coat of Rustoleum will have more protective value than plain primer.
