clean front sprocket

However, remove the bolt and pull the shift arm off the splined shaft. Mark it first so you can put it back in the same place. Remove the screws in the cover and pull it off. Thats about it.

I haven't done this on the CB, but popgun has it right.
On my Bonneville, about every other year or so I pull the sprocket cover off and clean out all the chain lube and dirt that has accumulated in there. I'm not concerned about cleaning the sprocket itself, just getting the lube out that tends to pack in there over time.
I know when it needs to be done when I can see the lube beginning to seep out from under the cover due to the heat of the engine.
Come to think of it, I've never had the cover off my 900F, but maybe I should take a look Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin
It only has 33,000 km's on the factory chain and sprockets.
