O.K. My project blaster is just about fully rideable, all I have left are the chain rollers, the previous yahoo who owned it removed them, so I don't know exactly what goes on there. So, I order some chain rollers, the description states they are upgraded design with sealed bearings for long life, all attaching hardware etc. etc. Just what I need! A complete retrofit! Anyway, I get the rollers and they are just plastic pucks.... no bearings, no hardware, just the plastic. I call the place up and they say "That's all there is for blasters, but we changed the description." thanks, no help for me. I ask them, then why does the roller just flop around on the mounting stud? They say "you need a bushing that goes in the center of the roller, take it out of the old one and put it in the new one." I say i ordered their crap based on the 'old' description because I don't have any of it! Yarrggghhhh!!! X(
So I keep the rollers... it'd cost more to send them back than it's worth and they are some super high tech delrin (suuurrree8-|) BS. I head out to the Yamaha dealer, order up 2 bushings, 2 washers, and 2 bolts. Get them here today and guess what.... the inside diameter of the yamaha bushing is the same as the new high tech roller, and it just flops around on the shaft! It won't go into the roller because the I.D. is exactly the same!
So, simple question is (drumroll please) are the dang rollers supposed to have so much play on the shaft? Do the aftermarket rollers require a bushing at all, and If so, what bushing do I need? I could throw a ham in there, pull out the bone and have less free play! Also, I switched to one of the longer, full contact front swingarm slider... do I even need the rollers?
