ok so ive got a new chain and sprocket set for my bike but the haynes manual is confusing, also my back wheel is buckled so if i took the wheel off then i could get it fixed at the same time which would be a good idea i think.
Basicaly im looking for a guide to change the chain and sprockets on a '85 model if anyone could help.

Thanks
John

Problem areas will be the rear axle bolt and the gasket on the engine case, it will probably rip when you take it off.

Needed to do this myself earlier in the year and found Toby R's thread from when he asked the question here very handy.

One or two pictures included from other members.

BTW Cheers Toby R Thumbs Up

You should be able to get one in a hardware shop.It might be too long so
put it trough the plate and screw it into the sprocket then saw off the and.

Got some new bolts Smile

Ive fitted the rear sprocket now i just dont know were the metal tube that came out of the drum goes, i took the wheel off and a little piece of metal pipe popped out of either side, ive done the sprocket side one but cant figure out for the life of me how to get the one from the drum back in Crying or Very sad

why is there no way of doing things with no problems?

p.s. I shot myself with a circlip Laughing when I was putting it back on it pinged of into my arm, thank god I had a coat on because it went pretty fast.
