never too old to ride Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 My chain broke this morning, a bit lucky I was only doing about 30 mph and chain wrapped around front sprocket. Anyway removed the demolished chain but found a nylon block inside the front sprocket cover. I am assuming it is probably a chain guide but where does it go or fit in the cover , it was just laying loose when I took it off and cant find anything in the workshop manual that helps.

Moderator drewpy Posted November 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 6, 2013 probably on the end of the swing arm near the front sprocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neversaydie Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 probably on the end of the swing arm near the front sprocket yes, thats my guess too, to keep the topchain run from dragging on the swingarm.I fyou look closely, you should see perhaps a couple om holes where it was screwed/rivetted on?

jimmy Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 it may have been glued/stuck with mastic, so you may find a clean bit on the swing arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
