Something snapped! A diagnosis.

no apologies necessary

BA and all of you on this board... please do not stop posting publicly on this forum... that is what it is for. No one will learn anything without your valuable input. I have been around this forum for 12 years now and I have learned a tremendous amount about these bikes from folks just like you. It is never my desire to be confrontational and is probably why my post number is so low. I too have been PMing Mes on his problems and is why I have been so involved on this one.

TC..... thanks as always for your moderation. If push came to shove I would have gladly bowed out....

Mes .... I am happy to see you are on the road to recovery... if there is anything else I can help you with PM me.... I will not post anything else to this thread.

I hate to jump in here, but a couple of pages ago when Greg posted that Partzilla schematic, Cajun said it was part #23, and then Greg also said it was part #23, but that was the wrong part # anyways..#23 is the "C" ring that holds the bearing in, the actual spacer part is #25.

Not sure if that was what got him/Mes confused, or just the doublebarrelled advice channels you guys were posting? But like Cajun said, you've gotten him straightened out now knowing that he just needs to get the thicker Special dust seal/spacer and he may also need a different brake torque plate.

Thanks for chilling down before it might have gotten real ugly!

T.C.

I believe initially you thought he was working with a 17 inch wheel from what was being posted by you. Somewhere along the way I believe you realized that he was now working with a 16 inch wheel. You were telling him that he needed to reverse a part that he had on backwards...(and it may have well been on backwards which did not discount the fact it was still the wrong part which is what I was trying to get corrected with my post)

He even corrected you one time with his post

Picture shows 16".

He just didn't answer that question quick enough. I knew all along he was working with the 16 inch wheel and needed what I was trying to tell him. I believe where we got confused is we were both typing over each other with advice.

You must be a type "A" person.... so am I. Accept my apologies if apologies are necessary and I think we can agree we have come to the same conclusion as to what he now needs to resolve his issue.

Mes.... what do you say?

Grateful to everyone who's spent but one minute of their time trying to help. Fully deserve and admit to being a rookie at this.

[BA80]

Things can get confused between keyboards.

I have known all along exactly what he is doing through PM's exactly for this reason. I think I'll stick to PM's.

Most of the other XS super guru's have just quit posting because of the background noise that occurs on the 11 channel. Trying real hard not to go there.

Seems every time I try to help a newby on here I end up in a ridiculous confrontation. That ain't any fun so I usually just go to PM's or just quit talking. You just caught me in a confrontational mood.

Please accept my apologies as required also.

Mes.... what do you say?

[BA80]

If you will quit confusing him that will be done in short order.

If I read your post correctly you told him that the the parts I said are correct are, in your opinion, incorrect. Did I misunderstand your words?

[cajun31]

Greg,

I have no doubt that you know what you are talking about. What differs at this point from what you are telling him versus what I have told him. We are agreed he has the wrong part and needs to acquire the right one and his problem will be solved.

[BA80]

Sir, I am absolutely positive that I'm correct. Is there some part of the PICTURES that you don't understand?

This ain't my first rodeo .........

[cajun31]

Ba80

Don't know what got your feathers ruffled but I am only trying to help this young man. I have the same bike he does and I am telling him exactly what he needs. He can take the advice or not. I am not here to make enemies. But what I have told him is correct.


What part of what I have said is uninformed in your opinion?

He is working with a special 16 inch wheel right now... He has abandoned the 17 inch wheel.

[BA80]

Cajun31 you have no idea what your talking about and I would appreciate it if you would PLEASE quit confusing the issue with your uninformed remarks.

Thank You!

[cajun31]

Mes

you definitely have the wrong one. The picture you just posted is not the right one either. If you can just grab that cover from the source Lorax is telling you about you will probably save money. Otherwise grab the part I posted earlier off of Ebay from that Midnight Special. It is for sure the right one and will resolve your issues.

Look at this link second picture posted. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-XS110...8ee696&vxp=mtr

Third item to the left is one piece and is the seal cover you need.

[BA80]

Here is the setup for the 17" Standard wheel........

Torque bracket, spacer, and inner spacer......



These are first the thicker inner spacer for the 16" Special wheel.......



And the also thicker torque plate for the 16" Special wheel........



The extra spacer ISN"T USED ON THE 16" WHEEL .

Parts

Colin, are you working this weekend? If not, give me a call and I'll take you out to see Benny. He'll have what you need. He doesn't think anything is worth putting money into, but his prices are reasonable and like I said, he'll have what you need, at least he did last time I went digging around there. He's a decent guy, always seems to have what I'm looking for. Have a nice day and ride safe

[mesmeridicus]

It is on there backwards, the other end should slip into the seal and the dust cover won't rub. However, I can see from the first set of pics that you have the wrong part there. The Special spacer is much thicker on the outside that goes against the brake bracket.

Is this the spacer I need? Thicker. Found it in a thread discussing the same issue.

Oh, alright. Good. So I should just need the correct spacer and all my woes will be resolved, then.

I can't thank you guys enough for the time you've put in helping me.
