Title: '86 G rear Brake shoes.
Post by haggis57 on 01/29/21 at 14:40:33

Is there something funky about the the rear shoes on an 86 G. they seem to be in a parts category all by themselves..

haggis57:

I don't know much about the 86 model......I have never seen one.

They do have some quirks that got changed quickly, and some parts are unique. It could be the rear brake shoes are different. Maybe you could post a photo or two with some measurements.

I have an extra rear brake assembly with good shoes - you can have it if you pay for shipping from Kentucky.

Does your bike have a side stand light in the speedometer?

There are also some early bikes that have a different gear ration on the crankshaft/clutch than the later bikes. The later bikes got a bit higher ratio......you might be able to get a bit taller gearing if you change the crankshaft gear and clutch basket.

Dave,
Yes this has the side stand indicator in the speedo housing.
A couple of the part stores indicate the same thing. 86 G shoes are listed separately, weird.
Right now I'm replacing the head gasket.
When I pull the rear off ,I'll snap some pics and take some measurements.
Thanks for the info, I may take you up on your offer.

Haggis:

Count the number of teeth on the crank gear and the clutch basket before you put the side cover back on.......it would be nice to know if the 86 really did have a different primary ratio than the later bikes.

You could buy a cheap set off e-bay and see if they fit.

I’m pretty dam sure the old number supersedes to the new number. Just check EBC listings for both years. Maybe it uses a different spring or something dumb like that.
