Dualta Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I’d like to get at the front sprocket to remove the gunk that has accumulated around it and the chain, but I’m a bit concerned what would happen when I take off this plastic cover. I suspect that there’s a metal plate under it and the innards won’t spill out onto the road, but I need a little bit of reassurance, because I’m a snowflake. All advice welcome.

2stroke4stroke Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Beyond possibly finding signs of water ingress at the flywheel you'll be ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markparrish Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Yep - nothing will fall out (unless there has been a massive disaster, but then I guess you'd know about it beforehand!!). Careful not to over tighten the screws when you put it back on as it can distort a bit - there are metal inserts in the plastic, but even so...

markparrish Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 also - def not a "snowflake" if you are doing the maintenance yourself!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Lot of people cut the sprocket guard off the ignition cover as it used to clog up with mud,better off without it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
