polaris jackshaft

[Teherr]

jtervaniemi,

I took some measurements and a polaris jackshaft is 24 inches long and the kawi is 26 3/4"   I don't see that a polaris jackshaft is going to work in Kawi.  What am I missing?

Hi
There was no problem for me, I don't remember the measurements on the shaft I used.
The clutch is floating on the shaft, self centering.

Mid 90's Polaris jack shafts are over 26". I talked with another racer last night he said 26.625" is a standard Indy jack shaft Polaris made different sizes over the years so measure before you buy one to make sure it fits your Application.

Here's some pictures of my drivetrain. Notice the different belt. 1105.

I bought a polaris jackshaft from 97 XC700 for $25 off ebay.  see attached pic.  It looks like it will work.  The pic shows side by side with Kawi jackshaft.  the Polaris is shorter by 5/8" but I can simply add a larger spacer on the secondary side.  It already has standard 1/2" spacer.  The gear fits on fine and looks like the brake disc I bought of ebay for polaris will work as well.
