dazla Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Recently had my chain come off and lock up on my txt year 2000 which caused a load of damage. After putting it all back together I've noticed the sprockets are miles out of line with each other . So looks like the engine has moved . Has anyone else had this problem and how big a job is it to sort it out. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tltel Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I think you need to make sure you have the correct sprockets fitted, I think they should be flat on a 99 model but not sure. have you got the correct wheel and or wheel spacers, the only other things I can think of is bent swinging arm or worn swinging arm bushes.

aussiechris Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yeah, check that the wheel spacers are in the correct way round. One is longer than the other. One way to tell is if the brake disk is not central in the slot in the rear brake caliper. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazla Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 All fixed turns out swinging arm was bent. Couldn't tell till I put the new one on but it's all straight now. Can anyone tell me what chain I need as mine got destroyed. Bike is running standard sprockets. Thanks for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tltel Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi Glad you got it sorted, not sure about the chain, I think mine is 100 link and that's with a 42 /10 set up. but my sons bike has 44 rear sprocket. I am pretty sure that I bought two 110 link chains last time I replaced them and cut them to suite. That's a 520 chain. TLTEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
