Typical chain adjuster seized & worn in wrong place?

<< < (2/3) > >>

smoothoperator:
Looks just how mine came out Ted, completely seized but as per advice on this site by Trigger I ground out the damage with a Dremel and now it pivots freely. Picture is before I freed it off.

The one you have can be repaired quite easily if you have a few different sized punches and access to a lathe - or a mate with one!
I have done a fair few of these both for myself and others - I added a short write up here:

DS does a really fancy one but I think they come close to a hundred quid with vat and post.

I made an enquiry to  ttr400 they supply theirs to DS - they said it was cheaper off them than from ttr400 paying duty & currency conversion.

Mine was the same but freed up fine with a dremel and needle files. Pivoted beautifully afterwards.

ttr400:
Oddjob, been trying to get over since last year, but with Covid it's just too costly with all the restrictions etc.
I'm itching to get to my SA registered CB400F in the UK. had a trip planned for Iceland last year but was moved to this year...can't see that happening.
I often bring parts over with me, so far not had any issues with customs.

While i'm on here.....I need a CB400F 76/77 frame with V5 or a complete basket case bike. anyone who can assist in getting one would be appreciated.
