ok you guys are going to give me sh*t for this but me and my buddy got drunk and tore apart my swingarm and put my new +3 on, well there is a piece that i can't figure out where it goes, or what it goes on to,its kinda like a rubber washer, it came with all the internal bearings and guts, the one and only piece i have left to put on, can't for the life of me figure it out, if you have any pics of a swinger torn down, or can explain to me where this f*cker goes, lol, thanks for the help.
 
i will see if i can get a pic of it today when i get off work, i have not reinstalled my back brake yet, still have to install extended cable
 
well i was too, i haven't reinstalled the caliper yet because i got to do my brake cable so i guess i will worry when i get the exended cable in and everything is bolted and i still have an extra peiece or 2, lol
 
type "yamaha oem parts" in google, go to a site like like partshouse.com and look in thier parts fische for your year blaster...it will give you a blown up parts diagram for any area of your quad....it has hellped me out in the past. especialy with engine and carb rebuilds..
 
I think those rubber rings go just under the metal caps you put on last. I would refer to that manual, it has the complete cutaway of it.

Thats prolly exactly what hes talking about. They go inside you metal caps on each end of the swingarm where the swinger, motor mount goes. They help hold the boot snug and in place. Check and see if one of those caps moves freely somewhat. If not get a pic and then someone will deffinatly be able to help you.

Or else its a dust boot for on either side of your rotor. Those are the only two spots on the rear of the blaster that has any "rubber washer" like things.
 
That's what I was thinking,inside those metal caps that go on the outer sides of the swingarm.They go around the inside for a better fit.
 
Just a suggestion.If you don't feel like buying a longer chain and have two of them,with the one chain around the front sprocket and pulled back towards the end hold the other chain up and measure how many links you need.Than grind the pin things on the 2nd chain off,get another master link than tighten.That's what I did and it works perfectly.
