Far as i know it is, can you not see a couple of turns on the shaft past the nut?

Vez will be the man to know......

Its a r/h thread. But it tightens itself up something silly.

To get it undone in the past i have fitted an old chain had a friend hold the back brake on and swung on it for England (probably not good advice but its what i had to do at the time) Since then i have made a little tool to hold the sprocket in place while i undo the nut.

Edited due to having a gearbox sat on the desk next to me :rolleyes:

If you are thinking of jamming the old chain between the sproket and the engine casing then------ DONT DO THAT.

1st gear

Back brake on

Then loosen the nut.

It is a right hand thread So it loosens to the left

A quick jirk at the nut is easier if it is really tight. ie, hit the end of the socket lever with a hammer.

Charged it twice and it loses charge nearly instantly when put on the bike. Charging it with a different charger tonight so i got my fingers crossed ill be back mobile tomorrow :D.
