What the feck?!

khu996 · 20-Jun-2005, 20:17

Just got back after a weeks holiday to find a replacement slave cylinder, so got to fitting it and giving the bike a little clean, when I come across this:

From a slightly different angle:

What the feck has happened here, and do I need to sort it? Does it have something to do with the leaking clutch fluid on my last ride?

Its a standard 14t on a pretty standard 749 bip, as far as I know the sprocket has never been removed/changed.

Sorry mate,you've lost me.What gives you cause for concern?

Give us a clue, is it the JAPAN on the chain?

guest1 · 20-Jun-2005, 20:23

I know I know I know (raising hand in air)....it's a sprocket!!!ta-daaaaa

i know its strange to still have the nut on but it is meant to be there

bolds · 20-Jun-2005, 20:26

All looks perfect to me-apart from needing a clean

guest1 · 20-Jun-2005, 20:28

On further examination it is apparent that gosh OMG...JAPAN is the correct way up on one link, but upside down on the next link. Could that be the answer?
apart from that, nothing jumps out at me from those pictures.

the washer is ment to be bent over like that stops the bolt coming undone

if thats not what your on about. god knows

Perhaps its me being a ****, but I never noticed the 'fold' in the washer (or whatever it is) behind the nut!?

Sorry lads!

I know, I know: NO CHAIN LUBE! It has magically disappeared!

Sorry, mate, if you're referring to the bent washer, it's meant to be that way. Otherwise, I am as baffled as the others.
