Hello Ladies and Gents,
I am in the process of replacing my Drive Chain and Sprockets on my CB400F.
I purchased a Swift o ring / x ring chain and JT Front/Rear Sprockets in this Kit:
http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/honda/cb_400_f_f1_400_4/75-77/picture/swift_heavy_duty_gold_sx-ring_chain_and_jt_sprocket_kit/Unfortunately I didn't get my bike with the rear sprocket chain guard but am I missing something here?
The old Sprocket was flat on the outward face and had grooves on the inward face which the Sprocket Fastener bolt (Item 355) seemed to sit in and the new JT Sprocket is just flat allowing the Sprocket Fasteners to spin This can been seen in the attached picture comparing the two. Secondly, on the new Sprocket there is a lip which interferes with the flanged nut. Reversing the Sprocket doesn't let it sit any better against the Sprocket Fastener bolts.
Regarding the chain, The new chain measures ~25mm width at the pins, the old chain measures ~22mm.
Being a wider chain slightly, it appears to be catching on the engine casing, is this expected or normal or is there some sort of adjustment here? would neatly filing the case back on the catch points cause any issues? (See attached)
Thanks.
