Front sprocket float

<< < (2/2)

UKROBK7:
Thanks K2.  I looked in the Honda manual and couldn't find anything at all.  I can see it now in section 5-3 but mine's a photocopy and not clear at all.

Update:  Just bought a genuine Honda front sprocket off ebay (NOT paying Honda price!) and that's a little thicker than the pattern sprocket that was fitted before.  The back and forth movement is reduced but the rotational movement remains.  Reading the US site it seems that this was normal on some trail bikes as well as some road bikes (including the K7/8) and is supposed to allow for any slight chain misalignment.  The front sprockets are supposed to be softer than the output shaft to stop ruining the shaft, I haven't checked the Honda sprocket yet but the pattern sprocket had been hardened.
