Chain roller , upper and or lower.

[sporty982000]

Well.

The lower chain roller on both blaster, were looking shot. bad shape.

I just happen to have some delrin and I have a mini lathe.

So with money tight, I made two.

Here is what mine look like.

Slap a bronze sleeve in there and you've got a pretty good roller!

Are you planning on using any kind of bushing inside the roller ? , Other than that it looks great !

 

[sporty982000]

I used the stock plastic sleeve, from the old ones.

1/2 i.d. the sleeve goes right on.

I had some bearings, with 1/2 i.d. but the o.d. was to big to use.

But brass o bronze sleeves, are a good idea, I didnt think of that.

damn!! good stuff. you can get bushings for that at any decent hardware store

bronze sleeves will roll on along for a long time. Especially if you buy the ones that are impregnated with oilite from the factory....

I bought 1/2" ID 5/8" OD 1" long bronze sleeves from Ace Hardware to make my chain rollers out of. I actually use short chunks of special super hard plastic hose driven over top of the sleeves to make the rollers....

I am all out of delrin, I only had about 4 inch long piece. to make them.


I forgot to add a bit of info.

1" wide. 1/2 I.D. 1 & 3/8ths O.D.


I might try and buy some more material when I get some money, if I do, ill make a few more. maybe some one might be interested in some. But a i got to have $$$ to buy the material. But I could sell them way cheaper then what ebay is selling them 4.


I seen them on ebay- here

Lower Chain Roller Yamaha YFS200 Blaster 1988-2006 | eBay

$10.77, with free shipping.

I think I could do them for 4.00 each and whatever shippng is.

But at the moment, that a funding issue.

I have a question, i lowered my blaster and the chain would hit the top one and make a rattling noise and we went riding yesterday and it came off and the chain hits just the piece that holds the roller on, will it hurt it??

What OD stock did you turn the rollers from?
