2000/2003 klx300r idler gear problems
Hi all
I made a profile just to ask this question, brewster from thumper talk sent me here so we could figure this out.
THE QUESTION IS: Will the 2003 klx300r idler gear fit a '02 and below klx300r?
I have a 2000 klx300 and of course the idler gear is toast, all the searching and scouring lead me to believe the 03 gear is the remedy to the common issue. I just got the 03 idler gear and shims in from babbitt online, p# 59051-1400. It doesn't seem to fit though, its just way too big, all the forums I've looked through don't give me a concrete answer. And i cant tell if it was just the wrong part from them (before they sent me a throttle tube for 06 and up ninjas, and the bag said it was a 17mm cir clip, so they've sent the wrong part before) or does the 03 gear not fit, or is it missing a bushing?
I've waited on this gear to show up for 3 weeks and I'm worried if i put the 02 and below gear in it'll just do the same thing even though some have said the ACR mod fixes the problem. Pics below, and a link if those pics don't work since this doesnt seem to be working right on mobile.

New 03 from babbitt that doesn't look new at all and has no bushing
Side by side comparison
