Part# 36y-22151-01-00 seal Guard

I am sure the shape can be duplicated, but a material that would be durable is in question. If you find the material that can be printed I can still provide a 3D file. But it will take me some time before I can pull away from my current project to make the file.

i might have to do so modification to make something work ,  thanks again ,,Mark G

What we ended up doing on Mark's bike was install the 89-93 Swing Arm Guide. I installed two nut-serts into the swing arm at the mounting points for the current part.

That was on of those things we did prior to Mark's untimely death while riding that very FJ.

Could these be replicated using 3D printer?

I never worked with one, but from what I have seen, anything can be done with it. Only question is the material you can print it in. Since it is hard to find these and some rubber grommets also, and with years progressing, I think most of us will need some sooner or later.

That was what I was also thinking to do if nothing else comes up.

As far as I remember, the original guard has - at least partly - an internal metal frame.

I think it would be impossible to make anything durable with a 3D printer and very difficult machining a part.

I think Randy's suggestion is the way to go.

You could also buy a swingarm that has the seal.

On this one the seal looks to be in good nick:

"...hinterradschwinge..."

I like the sound of that.

Yeah, the Germans have many cool words, like "Bumsen"....

I'm gonna use it as a term of endearment: "Bitte, meine kleine hinterradschwinge..."

Is this the back guide piece to the part in question?  This is the only thing left on my 84 - and after discovering it hanging by a thread from the metal hanger on the swing arm, I reattached it using golf club glue.  Don't laugh, golf club glue is holding some of my front fender and fairing cracks together perfectly.  Looking with a flashlight along the top of the swing arm as it approaches the sprocket, I don't see anything separating it from the chain.  But also don't see any evidence that the chain ever rubs against the swing arm.  Looking at this guide I reattached to the under side of the swing arm (its been a year or more) there is clear evidence of wear.  So chain lash on the underside of the swing arm further away from the sprocket is an issue. I guess I need to look at finding a new one.

Yes, that's the thing in question, but yours looks kinda strange. Check the parts microfiche how it really should look like. I see clear metal on yours, it should be rubberized.

I have what is probably an early model 84. I remember seeing the data plate on the frame showing that it was manufactured in 83 and the engine / frame # is H50-000309. So it may be that Yamaha decided to upgrade this part half way through the model year.

Interesting.

Hey Mark, how are those highway pegs working out?

Quite well, but I don't get much use out of them lately. I still have the "How To" write up I started, once work slows down I will get it posted.
