Hey Guys,I need the IDS instructions if anybody has a copy of them.I'm doing the 68t japanese sportster ids sprocket on my 07 ultra.I bought all the pieces already and i'm waiting for my tire to arrive.I'm also doing a 103 kit w/cams also.Cant wait to try all this out.Thanks in advance if anybody has the instructions.Oh,i looked at the website for the IDS kit and there not there.

 

When I get out to the shop in a couple of hours, I'll scan a copy for you. Check those bearings in the IDS unit. I had a lot of troubles with the bearings, so much so that I took it off.

Thanks Guys,Thats great

 

I've had IDS. They have medication for it. Also, watch your diet.

 

Let me give you my experience with IDS on my 07 Ultra.

1. Bearings. Be sure you install the bearing with a bearing press. Anything else may insert them slightly off center and they'll wear quickly like that. Also, the bearings for the 07 are unique to that model year as they increased the axle diameter in 2008. Properly installed, I got about 40,000 miles.

2. Torque. Original instructions said to torque the bolts to 65 ft lbs but later service bulletins said to torque them to 80 ft lbs. This will ensure the bearing run true against the axle.

I was the first to order the IDS for my bike in our local shop. They didn't have a hydraulic bearing press at the time. The tech used a 2x4 and a maul to beat the bearings into the race. It failed in 1500 miles. New bearings in the old hub, failed in 3500 miles. NEW IDS with bearings installed with a press, and properly torqued lasted 40,000 miles. New bearing ordered but had to be the special size ones for the 07 axle.

But, done right, a great improvement to the rideability of the bike. See my signature.

 

Thanks for the Good advice Goodbird.I do have a press,but the sprocket came with the brg already installed right out the box.So hopefully they did a good job when they built it.I will torque the bolts to 80 ft lbs.Thanks.I got the engine apart and cleaned,cam brgs changed,cams installed on the plate,heads disassembled and cleaned.after engine is done time for the sprocket.

 

Really? This is an HD tech I assume? Sad. That's why they don't touch my bike!
