NC30 rear disc removing question.

[VFRkieran]

Dont forget sprockets, and id avoid those cheapo ones you get on ebay, pay good money for a renthal or similar and it will last forever if looked after. Also how did you change the spring in the end?

okay i got the bike to support etc. BUT i cannot get the top bolt out of the linkage. got the bottom one out, but the top one is stuck there solid. and it will not move.

what can i do to remove this? heat it?



top one, i even cut my allen key so its just straight, plugged it in 8mm socket and to the socket wrench, and still will not move... i also prayed lots of shock & unlock.. no help.

fuck me, has that chain been used to pull the QE2
that needs changing before it even goes near a road.

Pfft! The shock is more important.

Kieran i didnt change the spring, the mechanics did. my sprockets are fine i cleaned the rear one. looks very good now. il change the chain before i ride the bike in a few months time.

[vfrman]

Xivlia, unless that is a brand new sprocket and the chain turned to shit from sitting outside, you should replace the chain and sprockets as a set...unless you don't mind wearing out a new chain prematurely.

Was nothing mentioned about the chain at the MOT it just failed? Or had the tester given up by then.

ISTR the bike lives outside under a sheet that blew away and let the fox piss into the carbs that were left under it? Or something like that?

I often wonder if the idea that a used sprocket might wear a new chain quickly is just sales talk. I know several people that don't subscribe to the theory and just change the sprockets when they get very worn and it doesn't seem to reduce the life any. In my case, I generally find that by the time the chain is shot on my 35, the rear sprocket looks pretty ropey too. Not entirely unconvinced that it's not far off now....

i swap between 2 chains so i replace sprockets when they need changing and when i feel like the chains need changing, however judging by the lack of care ersan has given that chain i suspect the cogs are fucked
