I'm not sure but its clicking now and its definitely looser. I have another chain that I can put on but I figure I should check the front sprocket and maker sure its not worn out

Clicking...Put on the center stand..good luck ghehee and spin it...find out if its touching something, but that sounds like a sprocket to me...had the same sound on my KZ and the front sprocket was toast...if the sprocket is a 15 toother ive got a good used one you can have.Originally posted by n1elkyfan View PostI'm not sure but its clicking now and its definitely looser.

BTW untill you figure that out..i wouldnt ride very far on it...i made that mistake and it not only could have killed me, but when i stopped to see what was going on..the chain fell apart in my hand. that bent sprocket tooth (if thats what it is) will start shaving your rivet heads off...My stepdads buddy had a chain break on him like that at 35 mph...wraped up in the rear wheel slammed the bike to a stop more or less and tossed him off the front and broke his neck. And yes he WAS wearing a helmet.Originally posted by n1elkyfan View PostCool I'll have to check on it here shortly

Welp im ready to go as far as parts, all my new rings are installed and my jets too...just need a synch and start running some plug chop tests to see where im at. I need to order a new baffle for my meg tho, so i might wanna wait till i do that in case it messes with my backpressure.

Way to go hopefully it doesn't take you to long to get it all tuned up. I don't know if the baffle would make a diffrence or not but knowing the way these bikes work I would bet it would
I went to look at my sprocket but will have to wait till tomorrow so I can
borrow an impact driver from one of the guys at work.

You're going to want to take it off to look at it...you wont be able to tell from looking at it from the side unless one tooth is really raised...look down the teeth also for twisting, raised teeth or excessively worn ones. Your manual will show ya too.Originally posted by n1elkyfan View PostWay to go hopefully it doesn't take you to long to get it all tuned up.

essh Id have to look but if your motor is the same is mine break out your manual cos you have to get past the clutch adjuster i think. Not positive cos i havent even looked on mine yet, i remember taking the clutch adjust cover off and i think that you have to to get the sprocket cover off. The KZ was cake, so getting it off shouldnt be a prob, getting the bolts loose can me a bit of a pain but if you have an impact driver you should be good. I think you take both the clutch adjustment cover off which has two screws inside that you have to look for, and then swing that out of the way then take the sprocket cover off...ive not gotten that far so i dunno if its just right under the sprocket cover or not. Probably so. If it is you'll prolly have to take a flat head and smack down a bolt holder plate. its just a plate with an edge bent up to keep the bolt from spinning out. then its cake from there.Originally posted by n1elkyfan View PostCool thanks for the tip. How hard is it to get off.

I just looked in my clymers and it looks like it will be a pretty easy project. I hope I can get it done on my lunch break tomorrow.

yeah its not hard, its just a matter of getting things that havent been in a long while loose. The sprocket change itself is cake.
