Hi Julie. When you say a traffic film remover would that be Gunk or similar?

Thanks Greg and Julie. To be fair It’s probably just general grime so will try the wash and WD40 method first. Thanks once again.

Evening all. Was going to wash my bike over the weekend and was wondering how to clean the engine cases. It’s sort of ingrained dirt/ oil on them. Was thinking autosol or will that scratch them?

Thanks Mike, that’s a good tip. Im not the most mechanically minded person in the world so tips like that help.

Sorry taysidedragon, I was confusing myself. I was looking on the bottom chain run and getting confused.

Thanks taysidedragon that’s how I had had it. This guy on YouTube had it the other way round.

Thanks for your replies. That’s very reassuring about the play in the sprocket. Thanks. I did check the links but I will do them again tomorrow and use hairygit’s method. Am I right in thinking the clip that joins the link should have the open end facing forward? Just watched a YouTube clip with the open end facing backward!

Evening all. Still have a clunking noise from the front sprocket area. Have taken the chain off to give it a good lube and then rotated the sprocket and the noise stopped. There seems to be a fair amount of play when I wiggle the sprocket. Is that normal?

Ah, Trigger now you’ve confused me. It’s been a long time since I rode bikes so not sure about the different chains. Do you know how long the bolts should be or where I can find out?

Evening. Checked the front and rear sprockets and all seemed fine ( to my untrained eye). Also gave the chain a good oil. Seems quite a bit better, maybe will completely stop the noise when the oil works it’s way in more. Anyway thanks for all your advice.

Thanks for your replies guys. Is the front sprocket easy to access so I can check?  I’m not much of a mechanic!
