This, I'm afraid, is a rather dull request for a bit of help working out if I've put my spacers together in the right order...
I changed the front sprocket to a 17t a while back and I've had an increasing amount of drive noise from that area since.
I whipped it off today and found the bolt that holds the sprocket in has stretched hugely and I reckon that's the culprit. New one ordered.
My query is that when I pulled the sprocket off, there is a collar behind it. It's not on the Honda parts list as far as I can see. It's sitting out side of the Oil Seal on the Counter Shaft.
I'm wondering if it was a spacer that came with the new sprocket, as it isn't an OEM, or if it's always been there.
I was thinking, if I've put that spacer on the wrong side of the sprocket and the sprockets aren't alined properly then that could be making the noise.
If it is an extra spacer then that might explain the stretch on the bolt that holds the sprocket on, as it won't be all the way in to the shaft and threads will be exposed.
On the off chance, has any one had their front sprocket off recently and noticed if the is a spacer behind it.
Apologies for the deeply boring thread...
