General Discussion / Re: Numbers hand-engraved on inside of XS1100 final drive?

« Last post by Bummer on December 25, 2024, 06:06:10 PM »

Please refer to Yamaha Shaft Drive Service Manual [1J7-28197-19] page 39 describes where to find the scribed original drive shim thickness for both the middle and final drive cases.
Scribed number towards engine is for the Final Gear Case Drive Pinion Side shim.
Scribed number towards the rear wheel axle is for the Final Gear Case Ring Gear Side shim.
If I could find a my PDF file of this manual I could try to attach it if that would be helpful?

Q and A / Re: Exhaust baffle loose.

Hi Owen why not just get a couple or a set spun up at a machine shop or maybe give Tarn Mott (down my way) a call or message him.
Tarn's user name on the forum is Primate.
That would be better than chopping up a set of pipes.
Hmmm sounds like something I could attempt on my little lathe maybe....

 

Hi,
I was going to take the angle grinder to the exhaust to retrieve the collar rings, but now feel a bit guilty at attacking the 40+ year old headers... However, if anybody in SEQ wants the original headers for the price of two exhaust collar rings, let me know in the next day or so.

OEM Headers are double walled and sought after. There are exhaust collars available on Ebay.
I believe these are the same as for the xs1100.

You could sell your old system to someone with good welding skills who is  prepared to patch them for reuse.
Always good to recycle these parts and pick up a few dollars on Ebay at the same time.

Cut the old ones off, the OEM came like that.

Pretty sure they are to indicate the shim sizes???

I am sure someone here can explain these hand-engraved numbers on XS1100 final drives. They are in two different areas of the final drive. I always thought they were some clearance measurements recorded during assembly for some station down the assembly line, but they don't look like that.

Hi Folks,

I've just received a Wulf Exhaust for a XS1100SH (Special).  It is actually made for the sport but, looking at the Yamaha archives, it looks the same but in polished stainless rather than the black finish. I just Started fitting the system and it's looking like it's going to be a great fit.

I've managed to get two of the header pipes off and retrieve the header clamps. Just before I take an angle grinder to the old exhaust headers, is there a way to get the last two header clamps off, or was the original system shipped with two of the clamps already on the headers?

O.
