Confirmed. What i used.

Did you have to get the longer billet coupler for the shaft or use the stock one?

Here is a pic of my drive shaft. Does anyone have a 650 sx or 750 zxi drive shaft laying around that they could measure? It's looking to me like the zxi is the one I need. Might be because of this long coupler??

How the heck did ya do that? Lose all your motor mounts?

 

[blazinbikerr1]

Nope just lost two. The two on the left side. I was pretty high up but didn't think I was that high

Looks like an extended coupler on there. I wish I could help pin point the driveshaft it is, I went through the same thing over the winter. A bit of advice though, be sure you make note of the taper that sits inside the bearing carrier and rides on the bearing and seals. The location of that taper tends to change between models. (My driveshaft was welded and machined to extend that surface - I had to get a custom Skat driveshaft) Here is a thread that helped me a little bit:

Can't EME tell you?

 

[blazinbikerr1]

Well they could if they would answer their phones. Guess I'll just leave a msg and wait for a response

You contact Chris? It's a 650sx driveshaft unless you have a setback pump

It is a 650sx shaft if it has 18mm threads. 750sx shaft if it has 20mm threads. The "longer coupler" is just a threaded adapter.

There's pics of the adapters on my build thread.

I'm running a 750sx shaft in mine. The 650sx shaft was 2" too short.

PS - if you need a 650sx shaft, I have several of them in the back of the shop... just pay shipping and it's yours.

That's where the adapter comes in.

Just looked at the picture - bet that is a 650sx shaft. Thanks N3verSat1sfied.

In that case I'll take an extra one. On my phone but pm me and I'll pay you tomorrow.

And to the op, 99% sure you need a 650 shaft.
