Is it a spacer that you put behind the output sprocket, to match the chain line for that wide rear wheel?
That is what I'm wondering now! I did make an offset sprocket but maybe I needed a little more? I will check that out.

I'm pretty sure it was behind the offset countershaft sprocket that I made to give me the exact offset to allow for the wider rear tire.

John, I have forgotten, what is the width of your rear rim/tire combo? I have a 110 front with a 3.00" wheel and a 140 rear with a 3.50" wheel. It was tough getting it in the very narrow Titan frame. I used a '14 Ninja 250 swingarm, pretty nice piece.

Hey Gary I have a 5" rim with a 160 tire. I machined the rear sprocket carrier down to move the chain over about 12mm as I recall but I still had move the counter sprocket about 10mm outward! How close are you to finishing your bike?
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project *Update*

That's pretty wide, a 160 in that frame gotta be tight. I had to make an offset sprocket for my XS650. My T-500 tire is a Bridgestone Battlax S20 evo 140/17" radial, a very nice tire. I making progress, busy working two jobs so time is always at a premium. Keep up the good work, yours is a very cool bike.
Cheers, 50gary

Re: My Suzi T500 Project *New Video*

Well I got around to firing the bike up today, started on the second kick :) Sounds way better than before but very woolly down low. Smoked like a chimney too. Fuel tap started leaking so I'll get that fixed and take it for a quick spin.

Re: My Suzi T500 Project *New Video*

congrats!!!

second kick----exactly----it's a t500!! bulletproof, right?
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project *New Video*

Wow, awesome build and the bike sounds great in the video. Looks extremely well put together. Love the two strokes!
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project *New Video*

It looks and sounds great. Try smaller pilot jets to clean up that bottom end and/or drop the needles - if it's still like that after a blast up the street.
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project *New Video*

Thanks! Yes I put 45 pilots in so I think going down on those would iron some of that low end issue out. Raining outside right now, don't want to wipe out if I give it too much of a handful I'll wait until it's dry ;D
 
Re: My Suzi T500 Project *New Video*

Going to try to install this tomorrow. Did I say i hate electrical stuff ;D
