Front sprocket securing help!

[eddie011]

Ok so I have a sachs x-road 125 08 model
I notice to hear a funny sound coming from the engine
I thought it was the gear box slipping
But it took my chain to snap while I was riding it to notice the front
Sprocket is wobbly and moves about is there anything I can do to secure this and can someone explain how to take off and fit them properly

Iv attached a pic of the sprocket and other part
That comes with it

[jeddy11]

Fronts sprokets are designed to have play in them so they wont bolt on solid or the inpput shaft could be damage if everything isn't lined up properly..

When you renew the sprokets and chain make sure everything is lined up and on the right way round and tension of the chain is correct..

The sprocket slips on, the plate goes on and twists to stop sprocket coming off and you put the bolts in to hold plate in place

These always wobble a little bit but not a great deal.

Best to take it off and look for wear on the shaft or sprocket.
best to replace either if worn but hopefully sprocket out of either as they cost very little.

FWIW WEMoto tells me with that retainer it'd be a Morini engine - click here for parts.

As said above should be straightforward. Only difference is use of the retaining clip and bolts.

Also FWIW motorcyclenews.com did an article on replacing chain/sprockets - click here for article.

Thanks for the reply guys ,
The drive shaft seems ok no play in it I just thought front sprocket had to be solid but maybe I might be wrong in saying the chain might have to much slack and the nose is the chain bouncing and sliding along the swing arm

A front sprocket should have a bit of wobble.

It's normal.

Mine's held in place with a massive nut and 132Nm of torque, definately not wobbly

Hi

If it has that kind of retaining plate then I suggest putting a bit of loctite on the threads of the 2 small bolts. They don't need to be that tight, but you don't want them coming undone.

All the best

Just don't weld it on like one of our less mechanically sympathetic members

No, don't weld it

Do grease the splines though to reduce wear.

If you rub two pieces of dry metal together, they will wear each other out. If they are lubed they won't. Always grease the splines.
