This past winter I changed the transmission sprocket on both my dads 2009 and my 2010 Triglide from the anemic 32 tooth to a 30 tooth HD part number 83595-11. I did a write up and pictures on another forum at the time while the work was in progress. I figure some folks over here at TT may find this information useful so I'm recreating the writeup over here also. Picture of the primary chain before I removed the tensioner.
Zip tied the tensioner in place per the manual, I'm of the school the more zip ties the better. The tensioner wear pad is in pretty good shape. Only thing I don't like is the chain was tighter than it should have been, only had 1/2" of deflection.
This is a picture of the compensator sprocket and ramps. I was interested to see how the sprocket would look. There had been guys seeing some gulling where the ramps run on the sprocket, mine is showing some of this gulling.
Shot of the primary with everything removed.
I like to bag oily parts so they don't get contaminated with dirt which would require disassembly and cleaning. This is the clutch basket which I will break down and inspect the frictions and steels at a later time. I'll also be installing a Screamin Eagle spring to give a little more clamping pressure.
A shot of the poor trike with a lot of parts missing.
Some of the pieces and parts, you couldn't tell by the look of the gas tank I love blue painters tape.
I started by loosening the belt, taking it off the sprocket and removing the lock plate. This is a shot of the plate being taken off and the transmission sprocket locking tool installed.
