sxr lower gear installation

[srxr700]

Does anyone know which way the lower gear in the chain case is supposed to go back on the drive shaft. I have an owners manual for my srx and it has a different lower gear than the sxr. Had a few too many beers the other night cant remember which way it goes.....

cant remember off the top of my head for sure, but the way i do it, assuming you have the thinner of the 2 collars/spacers (7mm) behind the lower gear is to lay a straight edge over the case housing and measure to the upper and lower gear for the same distance, without the chain. shoulder on the gear out, i think, but your measurement will tell you which way the shoulder on the gear goes. i have a hard time remembering as well.

I'm also doing it from memory, but I believe I read in the manual that all bearings, seals, and gears should be installed with the stamps and lettering facing out so that you can read them when installed.

Yea that makes to measure it up. It'll be interesting to see if the lettering ends up facing out.
