Building a bike for a friend and he got this non fitting radium taiwanese wide tire kit for it. My question is the starter spacer that came with it is for a 4 bolt starter and where in relation to the compensator does the compensator spacer go? Is the starter spacer even necessary? And does the comp spacer go on in front of the rotor or behind it? The instructions and fit of this kit really suck. Im thinking the spacer should go behind the rotor because the compensating sprocket isnt tight against the shaft extension when placed in front of it. Figured before I pull off the inner primary again to pull the rotor I'd ask here.

 

The spacer should be for chain alignment, if you have a factory service manual just follow the procedure for chain alignment in the manual. It should go on the engine sprocket shaft just before the shaft extension.

 

Mark when I put it on that way the sprocket has 1/4" of play. Meaning when its on the high points of the compensator its up against the comp bolts washer but if you turn it and it comes off the high points on the comp sprocket then theres a 1/4" gap. It looks wrong to me because without the spacer the comp bolt and washer snug up against the compensator. Whats confusing is the radium instructions say to remove remove the rotor but give you no clue as to where the comp spacer goes. They do on the mainshaft spacer, I wish he had bought a better kit. Thats why I thought the spacer may go behind the rotor.
