Hi , anyone know it is normal for the large drive gear around the cluch basket to be a little loose? the gear just 'racks' slightly on the rivetts. Bike is 1992 NS125.
Thanks,
Radders

Front sprocket is on opposite side of èngine. Thumbs Up

It's best to get it as tight as possible, but please post pics for a more accurate answer. When I done my NS clutch plates, I just tightened everything back up, but not so much it couldn't move/do it's job. Thumbs Up

Sorry guys perhaps i have been unclear; there is a large diameter helical gear which is rivetted to the rear of the aluminium clutch basket, this gear is in permanant mesh with the primary drive gear on the end of the crank. It is this large gear that has some slight play.

Thanks
