Not quite correct place but also needing this Yamaha discontinued part--2KF -25850 -50 as the butchered might not be worth repairing

I've posted some comparison pics on here somewhere..... the 3TB starter clutch, etc will definitely not fit a 3AJ

Posted by xtrider: Re: XT 600 starter parts: 52 teeth, answer to my question 'how many teeth on big starter gear on 3TB and later engines.

If you open the link below the question will be understood. I asked just to be absolutely sure. XTJoe's 3AJ starter gear has 80 teeth. The EBay seller quotes 80 teeth.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Yamaha-Tene ... 1818846121. (seller gets year & models wrong)

So, thank you xtrider for taking the trouble to answer the question. (We deal in certainties...with some help from our friends)

So it seems there is a source of new starter bits for early e start XT600s. Also, the 2 needle bearings are listed in INA catalog; 30x37x16. If the cages are good, loose needles are also listed by INA as 3.5x 11.8 mm. You will need 17 each for the 2 bearings.

Be well,
p

Seemed the best plan - bite the bullet and buy new- so we purchased the online ebay unit--

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Yamaha-Tene ... 1818846121

paid and it was promptly delivered at my doorstop 7 days later. I delivered to Spannerman who replied back two days later with sweet starting xt. Now we start the strip show

Re: starter clutch on 3AJ- Gear

Post by xtjoe »

Any one know how many teeth there are on starter gear or has a engine open to count on a 3AJ

Bought one from ebay supplier and it works well for my 3AJ-- now a mate has the same problem and want to order from same supplier- problem is he counts 79 teeth(tripple checked) on his 3AJ- supplier spec shows 80 teeth. We have trolled up and down trying to see numbers through here but cannot see qty. Will it work or not as its a pretty bunch of our SA rands. I really dont wish to open mine to count

My engine/frame number is 3AJ004745 and his is much later with the zero's after the 3AJ being numbers :book:

Thanks


80 in the picture above says these eyes counting on the screen
