Half of Kingdom and a Princess to someone who can show me exactly where I can find the damn sprocket to buy

That sprocket isn't a separate part, I think they figure it is part of the crank assembly since it get pressed on so hard. About the best bet otherwise would be to buy another used crank if you can find one with lower miles and either use that or press off the sprockets. I know other brands do the same thing with that sprocket, I wanted to change it on my klr but it wasn't an option to buy, just bought another low mileage crank.

Partzilla has that listed also, can't say it'll fit though ,Yamaha Motorcycle Parts 1979 SR500F CRANK-PISTON Diagram

Bearing on the other side is the same, I don't know if thats the same as the sprocket side on the 600 though, that would make it the same id at least.

Its one part (well i mean you cannot buy parts separate) i may have to buy the whole crank assembly myself & at $300 its cheap as chips, earlier XT`s are more than double that price.

Mezo.

Correct. Yamaha do not supply the crank sprocket loose.

Reason given; it is not keyed and Yamaha don't think customers/workshops can refit it exactly where it was.

You only need to remove it if you want to renew the bearing, where a new crank half is their preferred option.

But it can be done.

To quote ActionManMelb: Step away from that puller until you measure and record the position of your gear.

Click any pic to enlarge. This gear the outer edge of tooth is 20mm from bearing face, which is regarded as correct.

Aligning the gear with the key-way is not difficult and a fraction of degree out would not be noticeable on performance.

Thanks on the replies guys.

And no, the XT500 sprocket is different, as the chain is different (500's chain links are round, 600's links are flat).

300$ isn't much, yes, but I've already bought the con rod kit, and I'll see what I do once the engine is completely disassembled. I might have to buy the kit... To be continued.

Anyway, worst case scenario I'll mark the sprocket, take measurements, and put it back together as it was.

gasket / year compatibility
plan to take some care to the top end of my '02 xt this winter.

Earlier I was thinking to order https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-XT-6...9Z2xkx&vxp=mtr

then, found this option - https://www.ebay.com/itm/ATHENA-FULL...dYyNjQ&vxp=mtr
there's some more stuff, and price+postage is same for me. btw, "image is for reference only" is noted here.

I think that gasket set suitable for 1995 xt will be suitable for 2002 as well.
if not, what about listings like this? - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-Comp...JZdkMt&vxp=mtr
they indicate almost all years...

So, is it safe to get second option, or there still might be some major difference?

Check out KEDO - Performance Products. They're much closer to you, do the full and top gasket sets and I think might work out cheaper for you.

Thanks connal
seems there're nice options, but still need some help..

I've found that ones and not sure which of them will be suitable for '02 xt600e:

KEDO - Product Details
>> here application is indicated "XT600-'88, XT600Z-'87, SRX600"

and
KEDO - Product Details
>> here "TT600S/E/R/RE, XT600'89, XT600Z'88-, XT600E/K" is indicated..


And another point - Is there some difference in the quality/durability of KEDO and Athena?
I mean mostly cylinder gaskets and rubbers, the "paper" ones I cut from different material anyway..

: )

Probably will get them instead of Athena, if there's no significant difference in the quality.

It was like a small surprise - gasket-set-level compatibility of TT and XT.
