Catteeclan Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Right so got some time to play. Rear wheel moved forward to get the chain off the front sprocket, 30mm socket on the drill. No noises picked up using the screwdriver to ear method. Think this next pic gives a better clue to the prob. Glad I couldn't hear anything from the transmission as it would have been a right ball ache to sort. Rear sprocket not so bad but think another set is in order. I've been using a tin of muck off all weather chain lube, no probs with Mandis or the dominator but this is the second set on this done at 13000 miles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s got a clogged carb as well, which I will have to sort before it moves. Does look nice as a garage decorative piece, though … 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it looks like a couple of those teeth are looking kinda pointy....not much crown left on them. Like you said, at least it's not the gearbox....chain & sprockets are a piece of cake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looks like the chain has started to grind into the boss of the sprocket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally keep a record of when I changes parts but for some reason didn't bother. Bet that set had done less than 10,000. Was a DID chain and JT sprockets. Watching a couple of genuine sets on eBay at the mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
