Just changed mine
Probably not alot of help now, but if I'd seen this on Friday I could have helped. Anyway, mine were well shot, but not just worn and crushed, the rubber turned to a big black sticky marshmallow (not the Dairylea JMo promissed!), took a bl00d age to get all the crap out, and there's no way Kev's mod would have worked - Your's might be different, I may have had some iffy rubber to start, but once apart, what was left was just a sticky mess - not even sure if I could have re-assembled it.
All sorted now, just waiting for the force 8 to die down, and the hail, and the snow then maybe I'll get here out for a test ride (just to be sure :toothy5:) |

Alternatively, the closest I could find is a DRZ400 sprocket - it's 1mm different (typical huh?) and would need the bolt holes drilling out to 10.5mm - but with a bit of jiggle I reckon it would fit as a temporary measure - just as long as you centre it really well, or else the chain will suffer again... xxx |

Just a quick update...
I've managed to order a JT rear sprocket plus a rear TKC80 tyre, both on overnight delivery - yea! They only had a 47T sprocket available (and only three of those in the whole USA!), but that's fine as I wanted to gear down a little anyway, and certainly need a new chain too... cush bearing is on the shelf, so we ought to be back together tomorrow afternoon... phew! So, in the meantime, since the sun is blazing it is a balmy 80 degrees here in North Carolina, I've been riding a few of the local roads... there is one called Hwy 129 which is rather fun (Google Deal's Gap) - believe me, it is every bit as good as the hype! There are plenty more spectacular roads in the region too - Hwy 28 is another corker, as is the Foothills Parkway and Cherohala Skyway - all awesome fun, no traffic and breathtaking views! - just a shame my tyres are so square after those 3000 miles in Florida! xxx |
