see the grooves in the O rings if you were to cut one of those O rings in half it would look like an X that's why they call it a X ring an O ring they would just be smooth which with the grooves the X ring can hold more lube longer which makes it better than an O ring
 
Thanks now more problems . The primary dive rear sprocket they sent my I'd not even close to a match.

Stock on bottom PD on top

The new sprocket looks like whats on mine. What year is your wardog. Your old one looks like the one that was on my buddies first gen.
 
As far as I know bronc3 it's a 2000 is there a way to tell?? I have the front circle lights if that's matters? 6 gears also
 
Well according to my search the 4 start hub is on a 87-88 warrior . The asshole I bought it from said it was a 2000 are the parts interchangeable?? Or do I for sure have a 87 warrior??

F me I also have a 87 rear tail light fml
 
So is there a way to tell the difference as far a stage frame and main parts go?
 
Would the 2000 warrior 520-98 chain fit on the 87 with 12t up front??
 
the 87 uses a 100 link chain as the swinger is 1" longer ... measure from the center of the pivot bolt to the center of the carrier ... 1st gens are 19" and 2nd gens are 18"

does the carrier have bolts holding it to the swinger or 2 long ones ?

they might have just put a 87-88 sprocket hub on it

Measured at 18 with a 40t rear and 12t front sprocket I wonder if this 520-98 chain will fit??
 
At 18" inches its a 2nd gen swinger.. It kinda looks like the sprocket hub was replaced with a first gen?

k so they just used the hub from an 87 .. 98 link chain will be fine but your going either need a 2nd sprocket hub or a 1st gen sprocket
 
I would just get a 1st gen sprocket.. I would also go with a 38 tooth if your running a 12 tooth front.. That thing won't do 30mph in 6th with a 12/40 setup.. The ideal setup for trails is 14/40, or maybe 13/38..
 
Will I have the sprocket lot for a 2000 so just need to find a 2000 hub fml any ideas were to get one fast by Saturday??
