Some wear on my 86 SEI's final drive noted on rear tire install no lube from PO. I see some on ebay etc. Some say 84-87 fitment. Anyone know for sure which will work?
The first couple of years of the 1500 had the six pin flanges same as the 1200s. It was the 1200 and the early 1500s that had six pin flanges, the later ones have five pins. The five pin flanges don't need lubrication on the drive pins either because they plug into aluminum blocks instead of steel sleeves as the earlier models did.
dennis, i double checked after you posted. the 1200 flanges are 6 pin and the 88-89 1500 also, the part numbers are also the same. regards walkabout. happy holidays to all.
Thanks everyone for the help as always, very infomative, I have a collection of old wings we are in the process of restoring, so I looked through the rear wheels, found one of the later models... mucho different... anyway have to change the drive flange as it is different to fit over the larger re-inforced hub...once that is done I should be good to go.... as for using it like it is.... not an option as I pull a camper trailer with it.... soooo I need the redesigned wheel and hub.... while I have the wheel off I am going to pull the drive and shaft to lube the splines... any body have any tips to pass on.... thanks again.
wings, is the NOT aimed at me or at the previous post saying It would be ok as long as you babied it....as a mechanic and an engineer, I know I am not riding my scoot as it is til I get it fixed... can just imagine what the dynamic load would be when the hub cracks... as I am I tooling down the road at 50 plus....no way Jose....don't even want to think about the rear wheel letting go.... binding.... locking up.... bike goes into a slide.... opps Hi side.... I fly through the air.. and scratch up my full face helmet, wear a hole in my leathers.... and scratch up all the pretty plastic and chrome.... not for me... thanks

Hello Capn Not was not meant for you and was intended to mean babying bike is not an option-rather fixing it and then driving it like a rented mule.
No disrespect was intended to you or any other member. I myself was an aircraft mechanic for 10 years routinely "battling" with maintenance controllers over what was acceptable and what was not.
I am hard-core into fixing this 1200 to being as close to showroom quality as I can get and I have forgone any cosmetic repairs to date yet have installed new steering head bearings, fork seals, progressive springs, new brakes front/rear, new tires front/rear, new swing arm bearings, new rear wheel bearings, flushed and bled clutch and front and rear brake lines, installed front superbrace, removed floorboards and installed stock pegs and shifter. In addition have lubed and servicedfinal driveduring wheel removal and can tell you that while teeth are worn they are not in danger of coming apart. That being said the intent of this post was/is to secure quality replacement final drive.
I'd say we are pretty much on the same page when it comes to maintenance. The NOT taken out o context may have illustrated otherwise to you-this is why I'm not on Facebook!:cheeky1:
