Replacement chain adjuster plates? - SV650.org

SV400Rob · 31-01-11, 10:30 PM

After recently adjusting my chain, I found that the adjuster plates on the SV650S K3 are made of cheese and gauged marks in my swing arm as I un-did the wheel spindle. I have found these on ebay as a replacement. Has anyone tried them yet?

Thanks

Never seen thise ones before, but it's just a plate - as long as it fits I'm sure it will work fine.

I think you might be treading a new path for SV650.org - let us know how you get on

I've put a bid in so I'll keep you posted if they're any good. Can't really grumble for £12.50, worth a shot really.

Unfortunately I got outbid on these

Has anyone else changed the adjuster plates? If so, what did you replace them with?

Thanks

£16 for that piece of junk (no offence to the person that made them). if you can wait a wee while i'll have something a lot better. they will be getting punched within the next few weeks.

I'm in no rush to be honest. I was just searching through ebay to see what goodies I could buy for the SV and found them. Last time I adjusted the chain, as I undid the spindle nut the adjust plate moved with the nut and consequently I've got a carved swing arm and a bent adjust plate

Have you got any pictures?

no not of the exact item as they have not been done yet but i can pm you a drawing of the finished item. they will be made of stainless steel. and there will be different options for different applications.

I've had that on my 2005 . Had a new tyre fitted , they must have a gorilla working the spanners , it was too tight had to use a lot of force to undo the spindle adjuster plate bent , not had chance to sort it yet due to winter. Will probably try to straighten it in the vice.

Thanks Bibo.

I got mine in the B&D workbench and bent it back into shape, well its not perfect but close. It happens every time though.

problem i dont have the drawings here. but they are close to the original plates but with slight modifications. they will also come with marker notches. they will also be handed as in a left and right to fit the spindle exactly so they dont move about as much.
