Slight play between final drive output shaft and engine sprocket

(1/2) > >>

Ken4004:
Just a quick question, I have fitted a new front sprocket to my engine and there is a bit of play between the sprocket and the drive shaft even when the locking plate is fitted and tightened is this normal for a bike with 40,000 on the clock and is it anything to be worried about.
The only solution I can see if it is an issue is to get a replacement shaft !

taysidedragon:
I think that is normal on this type of sprocket fixing. It allows for some movement of the sprocket, I assume to aid chain alignment?

Ken4004:
Ok thanks

Bryanj:
Its normal from new never mind years later

It’s the same on my 350. Worried me too at first.
