Front Sprocket cleaning

[Mark Olson]

So Saint Mark, is the chain now clean and properly adjusted?  how much slack was there ? Did the noise go away?

Inquiring minds want to know.

The Seal Guard (hard rubber part on the swing arm) is missing. So the chain slaps the steel arm and makes a metallic noise. His chain looks decent, a mild tight spot but not bad, it seems adjusted properly according to what I learned from Randy. So the noise remains but the source can fixed with an order from Randy and a little wrenching. I also suggested that if he could not source the correct part, any bit of plastic sheet (about 0.188 to 0.25 thick) could be bonded in place to stop the chain from machining a hole on the top of the swing arm.

Well ok then , thanks for the update .

That's the only problem with the chain rubbing blocks, the swingarm has to be removed to replace it if memory serves me right. But it's better than having the chain wearing a groove through the swingarm itself, one of the jobs I have to do on the Project '92.

Oh Byran , Sorry about the finger .. I just couldn't believe you were actually maladroit enough to do that. 

Me too, sorry to hear about the unplanned skin-ectomy.

Even I was surprised this time.

You can put one on without removing the swingarm Ray, I bought a new one a couple of years ago and fitted it easy enough. At least their still available new for the later models unlike the earlier models.
