G'wan g'wan, g'wan....:D
All you need's a 5mm allen key (or socket).
Undo the two screws, unhook the cover from behind the clutch slave cylinder, lift it away, and have a look.
Is it filthy? Full of a foul mix of mud and chain lube? :o
Or is it spotless, because you clean around here all the time?
:saint:
If it's filthy, clean it out properly, and examine the sprocket retaining plate.
Is it in good condition, and are the 2 small allen screws correctly tightened?
And what about the sprocket itself? Teeth hooked and/or worn?
Front sprockets have to transmit the power of the engine through a very small number of teeth: they have a hard life.
Keep an eye on them.
As you've probably realised, I'm only posting this cos I took mine off yesterday for the first time in ...... let's just say, a while, shall we? :lol:
I daresay many of youse guys check here regularly anyway. But if you don't, it's not a bad idea to do so regularly. Those sprocket retaining plates can fail, y'know...
