Anyone fitted stainless studs to rear wheel adjusters? - joebloggs - 03-11-15

As it says?

Re: Anyone fitted stainless studs to rear wheel adjusters? - slappy - 03-11-15

I haven't but I considered fitting some but  think they might be too brittle.

Considering people use stainless for brake calipers I don't see strength being the issue

Re: Anyone fitted stainless studs to rear wheel adjusters? - slappy - 03-11-15

I know people use them for brake calipers but again I have always thought stainless steel is more brittle than the low carbon or mild steel used normally in these situations.
But I will admit that I could be totally wrong Smile

Yep. They are fine and less of stain!

Word of warning
We had a good look at removing the studs today and several engineers from work think that maybe they're not removable and that Yamaha cast the stud into the adjuster block. Guess you could drill and tap it if it did shear but I left it alone as it seemed more trouble than it was worth


Re: Anyone fitted stainless studs to rear wheel adjusters? - NorthWestern - 07-11-15

The chain as adjuster studs? They just come right out, nothing special about them.

I stand correct then, we were worried about destroying the blocks trying to remove them, may have to pay another visit to the engineering dept at work

Great timing! Was up at my dads this morning, he is making a motogp style swingarm for my bro's race bike.


Here is the rear end of a standardf YZF750 swingarm cut out, you can see what it looks like on the inside, the adjusters are just bolts through a taped hole.

This is what it is going in!

Hand formed outer plate for the chain side of the new arm.  The sniney tube is the frame end spindle.

Still looks a bit fiddly to remove Sad
I've never seen any in a bad way so why change them?

I see that but have you changed the adjuster bolts on a FZS600, only asking as I need to know they can be removed before destroying them trying to get them out

Wheels polished and repainted, swingarm polished, rear plates on swingarm that studs go through painted etc etc, seems a shame not to replace them.

I'm with you, if it can be done,why not do it Smile
I just thought earlier you were just changing them for the sake of it :eek

Re: Anyone fitted stainless studs to rear wheel adjusters? - NorthWestern - 08-11-15

Ahh, yeah the 600 uses caps doesn't it. I assumed we were talking 1000 :/

Yes it's a different set up, the bolts go into the bracket that holds the rear axle bolt.

Re: Anyone fitted stainless studs to rear wheel adjusters? - joebloggs - 08-11-15

So I'm still none the wiser  :wall :wall :wall

Anyone know if they can be changed on the FZS600

Back to the drawing board joebloggs :b

Item 17 clearly shows its attached so you might not be able to remove it without foccin it up :b

Edit....
Could you not take out the units, give them a  clean and paint them with hamnerite or similar? They'll come up a treat I think then just put on shiney new nuts?

Re: Anyone fitted stainless studs to rear wheel adjusters? - joebloggs - 08-11-15

Yeah I know, may even be able to have the threads replaited and mask the rest of it, don't understand why they would go to the trouble of casting it into the block (if thats what they've done) Could do with a sacrificial adjuster block to test

There not the most saleable part so you might find a breaker on ebay or somewhere willing to part with one for a cheap price Smile
