    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.

Rotor taper and mystery seal

Dogma

Dogma

Forum Sage
About 2000 miles ago I replaced my starter clutch. Last weekend, on the way home, I thought I sheared the starter clutch mount screws again, somewhere near Cleveland. It turns out it was the rotor coming loose from the crank. Four hours from home. Good thing she's reasonably well tuned and bump starts easily.

The crank's taper now has ridges that don't quite catch a fingernail. I'm looking for input on whether to worry about that and best practice for installation.

The other question has to do with what I've circled in red. That's the broken end of a thin rubber thing that circled the bearing. It's not on the parts diagrams, so I think it's part of the bearing assembly itself. The pieces that came off were thin, just enough material to get around the corner of the ID to the face. Does anybody know what this is? I couldn't figure out any function for it. I'm thinking I should tear the rest of it off and forget it.

The seal and varnish colored metal are one piece. It is separate from the bearing. It is item 23 on both the 1000G and 850G parts diagram. Part number 09289-48002.
 
Aha! Thank you. My first mistake was looking at the bearing in the middle of the crank on the diagram, as if it was the end of the crank. Oops. I see now what it seals on the back of the gear. I'm still not clear why it needs to seal there, but I'll trust Suzuki on that.
