roller bearing
 

I have a 1990 xt 600 and when I was changing the tire bearings back, I noticed that the roller chain guide that is attached to the swing arm wobbels.Is that hard to change any info woud help.

If you are talking about the one that goes around the swingarm you need to remove swingarm to change, my advice is to just remove whats left and buy the one for the 4pt. It has the combi protection.

I need the roller that has the bolt going through it that has the swingarm and goes to the other end and there is a nut . The chain rideson it. Looks like it is between the frame and the swingarm but its on the bottom. Thanks again

Ok, that one you can just unscrew, no problem.

I keep getting a grinding noise when I ride. I installed new rear wheel bearings and still making noise. I am thinking its those 2 roller wheels. Can they make noise? Also adjusting the chain is nobody on the bike correct. Any help do you know what can it be it sounds its by the left foot peg area sprockets look good

I got that noise when the swingarm protection was eaten up, the chain comes down on the metal. So check that you have a plastic ring on the swingarm mounting. If you dont understand what iam talking about its number 9 here:

Remove left overs from nr 9 and remove 14, buy the chainprotector from 4pt and problem solved.

I have a plastic cover that goes on the outside of the swing arm and its white, if that is the same piece you are talking about. That is new any other suggestions Thanks again.

No see my link and nr 9, its where chain meets swingarm before sprocket, where the bolt goes in to hold the swingarm.

Oops sorry my mistake. That is the bottom roller and that connects through the swing arm correct? That wobbles but still has the rubber coating maybe I will replace

I dont follow you here, the nr 9 is plastic original and yes its over the swing arm. Take pictures of the one and i tell you if it need changing, its a big job removing all if you dont need change.

I understand number 9 the chain rides on that. Mine is rubber and moves side to side maybe worn I don't know if it is suppose to do. Now does it come in a kit for the whole replacement or can I replacxe just that. How do I replace that only or should I replace the whole kit. Looks like the nut comes off first then I push the bolt back alittle then hopefully it drops down the assembly.I guess I shim up the motor to keep the pressure off the swing arm Hey thanks for your patience with me

If you have something there its ok, its supposed to move a little. Thats why i say buy the 4pt chainguard, you dont have to remove swingarm.

I am talking about part #9 that moves alittle side to side. The material is like a rubber. I was thinking that maybe that is where my noise is coming from. I was wondering if that is an assembly that can be replaced all at once. Now that part # 9 does have the bolt going through it and the swingarm . Now my swing arm protector is okay' that is new. What else can it be then? I push the bike no noise only when I ride it. The front sprocket it not loose.

Raise the rear and run bike, then you easy can find noise.

Yeah that is my next try. It might only do it with me on it. We will see and I will update Thanks

Easier if you sit down and listen at the engine.

Well jacked bike up and started bike up , put it into gear no noise. I did adjust chain put chain lube on. Will try again tommorow riding her and see what happens

Are you thinking the noise is coming from here , the whitish piece on the right upper corner, to right of sprocket, inside the frame where the swingarm bolt goes ? Yours will be red/orange I make my own out of nylon,

Also for swingarm protector I get TT versions for $13 instead of the $65 XT's . Problem is the TT's are made of a hard plastic which is loud clunky so it put teflon strips on top to take all the wear and quiet it down.

That is where I think the noise is coming from. I did change the plastic piece on the swing arm. But the roller like you said does move side to side' But only makes noise when I ride. How many rollers are there 2 or 3 ? Thanks

There are 2 .

This is one of the cheaper versions that work ok ,

A better quality version , I like the center rib but really not needed and you'll need to get a 8mm x 1.25 bolt since it doesn't use the oem one .

I made my own for one bike with bearings I have on hand for certain airtools I rebuild at work that used the oem bolt but for how cheap those are not worth it.

Now the one roller that the bolt goes through the swing arm is that difficult to change? Do I just shimmy up the motor then loosen the swing arm bolt and just pust out the bolt alittle. Just enough to past for the roller and hopefully it drops then slide the new one in. Thanks

You have to take the swingarm out from the frame completely to slip it over the seal cap . That's were the chain guide XTRocks linked to is nice , it slips over without the need to disassemble ,the US didn't get those but order from Europe to get one . The only thing I don't know is if it'll fit over our swingarm seal cap , it should but....

Yes it fits! But it will be expensive and if you just bought a new one just remove swingarm, you need to take the shock off too. Like i told you before, if you have a roller over svingarm its ok, they move even if they are new or old. I dont think its where the noise is coming from, and if you dont hear it when bike is on idle i dont see the problem. Buy some ear plugs and ride, happy easter:thumbup1:
