can't get nut off to change worn sprocket ,just want to make sure its a left handed thread before I up the leverage,any one out there to advise me ,cheers Spleenless

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......

ok ta unfortunatly the nut is flush with the shaft so can't see any thread

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.

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.

Right ok,I take it jammin a chain in there could damage the casing,thanx will employ your tactics,will have to employ daughter too ( she's a nurse ) 

Finished getting all the parts on today, just having a bit of an issue with the battery, or at least i think/hope its the battery.

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 .

You thinking of riding your DTR to the 2-stroke meet?
