    Front sprocket worn out after only 3677K’s (90% dirt riding)
    I was hoping it might last longer than that :silly:

    I would have thought that was pretty good going for a front sprocket. Don’t they only cost about $30.00 then again it is a BMW so it is probably 300

    looks like it may have had side load

    how was the job of removing the swing arm? or did you only have to slide the pivot back a bit?

    I think WIKD might have been a bit sarcastic:cheer:

    I can only fit a 12 on the Gasser and it was rooted in 1500 K’s

    It did have a little side load – I read the book (CD rom) and it says to push the swingarm to the left side before tightening the pinch bolts, I hadn’t done that.
    Removing the swing arm is easy – remove bottom shock mount bolt (remember there is no linkages), undo nut and slide out the pin that goes through the gear shaft.
    One side bearing comes out with the pin the other stays in the frame.
    It’s all quite ingeneous really.

    Chris; genuine front 14T = $51 but I have found slightly different prices depending which dealership I go to, or should that be stealership?
