    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have ordered the chain and sprockets for the 530 conversion but I didn't order a 6mm spacer. Is this needed for my 82 750t? if so what other options do I have? ( dont want to spend shipping money for a couple dollar part)

I would guess you would need it otherwise the nut will not tighten.
 
Did you end up doing this conversion? If so, did you notice a difference, and how challenging of a job was it? I am thinking of the same thing for my 750T. Guy I bought it off of put a new chain on, but I don't see any O-Rings...

went very smoothly. I ordered all parts from z1 online...I would suggest calling and talking to then so you dont forget anything ( like the spacer) It took around 45 minutes start to finish.

I did the 530 conversion on my 750 T last year. Worst part was cutting the old chain off. Toss the old countershaft sprocket and "cushions"....use the new sprocket and spacer and you're good to go.

I found the bike to be much smoother. Less driveline lash. Just waiting on my E models chain to croak so I can convert it.
 
Just want to be sure..
Did I put the spacer in the right place?

The lock washer is there.. I hadn't torqued the nut down when I took the pic.
 
Just ordered by chain conversion kit. Did you need to take the footpeg off to get the sprocket cover off, or is there a trick?
 
On the 1000E you don't but you do need to remove shift lever. Only 2 bolts to remove the peg assembly anyway if it's the same....
