Title: Sprag case grinding
Post by: ssevy on June 15, 2017, 05:16:58 PM
I've read through all of the sprag threads, and am aware of the two different tooth counts available. I found the TSB for that discussion, but cannot find one which describes creating relief in the cases for installing the new kit? My VIN number is really low, and while I have the cases apart to replace the output shaft bearing I buggered up, I thought I might just upgrade the sprag too. Most of the youtube videos are on bikes with the access plate being ground, so I just wanted to know if anyone who has done the upgrade can confirm that my '95 will need to have the case ground to fit the new sprag?
Thanks

 :iagree clean it up, put a new gator spring on it if you must and just keep the battery in good shape.

Just out of interest, I know Clive Woods made up a tool that was basically a standard cutter from a horizontal mill brazed onto a stub to enable a more precise and tidy means of casing relief for the later sprag assy. but not having done it myself that's as much as I know about the subject.

Access plate being ground?? :icon_scratch:
I replaced the sprag on my Trident years back. Because the revised one was slightly wider,I had to remove metal inside the engine with a sharp scraper,and the cavity stuffed full of oily rags!
