XT600E swingarm slide

Hey guys!

Do you know that round rubberish part that the chain slides over (right above the swingarm axle?

Has anyone ever replaced it before?
The Yamaha part number is: 5X6-22151-10-00

item#9


Mine is almost obliterated so I need a new one...
Should I replace just that part or does it need to change something else also?

BTW, does anyone know the size for the upper and lower chain rollers?

Thanks!
Vando

Thank's Mezo!

and UAU that's some pretty clean job you've done there!


Wish there were some place here that could do such a good paintjob!

Have you also replaced the chain roller where the end of the cranckcase breather pipe is at on this picture and the other one beneath the swingarm that is fixed by a screw that attaches behind were the sidestand screw also attaches at?

I want to put those for MX bikes that have a bearing but I just don't know the sizes as I don't have my old ones..


How are you on your rebuilds?

I have replaced the lower one that mounts not far from the sidestand, with a bearing type one. Found it in an autoparts store. I needed another bolt and some washers for spaccers.

Can only remember thats its an 8mm bolt, and its 32mm wide.

Thanks Jens!

I found this one: 34mm

CHAIN ROLLER TRX 450R 400Ex 300EX 250EX 450ER BK34mm - eBay (item 180513762509 end time Mar-24-11 16:40:48 PDT)

A bit more expensive than the normal ones with bearings..
Plus they probably won't last long tho.. they seem kinda "short" on the rubber side..

What do ya think about them?

These or normal ones with bearings?
