Gearbox sprocket?

Post by alexanderfoti »

Hi all

To get the clearance I need for my clutch basket to clear my chain, I have flipped my gearbox sprocket around.

One side of the sprocket has a ridge on it like this: Image

One side is flush, and the other side has this ridge (that maybe sits proud by 5mm)

Normally, I assume the ridged side sits facing the gearbox, I have flipped it so it now faces the clutch (so that the chain sits further in, closer to the gearbox).

Can anybody see any issue with this?

Just check that the chain doesnt hit the gearbox casing, especially if you are going to run o ring chain. Also check the chain allignment

A OK on the gearbox clearance. Am also not running an o ring chain so good on that front.

The main reason I had to flip it was becuase I couldnt get the correct alignment with the rear sprocket without doing it.

I will test it quickly and then pull the clutch off and make sure it doesnt rub against the casing.
