An intermediate gear like this rides in the timing chest and passes drive between two other gears without changing the ratio itself, keeping things turning the right direction and taking some of the load off the parts on either side of it. It's a wear item that's easy to overlook until it starts making noise.
Our catalog record ties this one to the 500 twin family across a run of years but doesn't spell out a specific model or year, so check it against your engine or call the shop and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
