2002 EC200 Chain Slider

[mlyle11]

I'm in the process of a full rebuild of my GG. My bank account is soon to be sucked dry...

Has anyone tried to cross over an aftermarket slider? I hear the swingarm is the same as a Husky WR. There are some nice sliders out there from TM, but expensive if they don't fit.

Thanks all!

are you talking about the front slider that goes around the front of the swingarm or the rear guide by the rear sprocket ?

i have a spare oe front that is brand new..

The front slider that goes around the swing arm with the bolt that goes all the way through it to secure each side. I think the OEM may be the only one out there. I am going to call the folks at TM and see what they can do, but also interested the oem. I will send a PM. Thanks!

Trying to find the price of the new one I got from GoFasters for my 2001 full rebuild. Maybe it's this "Patin cadena" for $19.77 .

Anyway, the item from GF was a little nicer than the one that came stock in 2001, with an added guide block on the inside of the chain. It is black instead of the original white, which worked out just fine on my stealth black project.

I feel your pain on the bank account thing.

I ended up picking up a black one, just as pictured from Hall's last night. I am putting the swing arm back together now. They charged 20 for the slider. They don't have the original "off white" one any more, it has been superceeded by the black one with guide rails. It should work fine. I also picked up the TM Designs Guide Block and the Moose adapter. It looks very trick compared to the OEM roller set up. I am picking up some replacement Moose rollers as well. They look to be a little larger, and maybe a better material. Next comes the chains and sproket. Seems like there are a TON of opinions out here on that topic. I think I'm just going with the basics here, nothing too fancy, steel on steel, and a black o-ring chain.

Thanks again all!

I tried the Moose chain roller for the lower position and went back to stock. The roller with the bearings seize up and don't roll very well at all.

Moose Chain Roller Lock Up

I am worried about the same thing. I took off the stock rollers tonight, and I have the new Moose ones. It's not simple swap. I will need to add some spacers to ensure the bearings don't seize. If you just use the bolt that comes with it, they roller will be too close to the frame. The stock rollers use a hat shaped "inner race". As the Moose units are sealed, they just ride on the bolt shoulder. Frankly I am not impressed with what I received. It should have been a simple R&R job. No I have to fab something up to make it perform right. I'm beginning to think the OEM replacement would have been better. Thanks!
