wordsmith Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I want to clean the front drive-chain sprocket area, which I’m sure is pretty yucky. The covering plastic shield appears to be secured by two hex-head screws. If these are removed can the cover then be readily taken off to access the sprocket without also moving the gear-shift arm? I’m a little reluctant to do this unless necessary as I don’t want to lose the correct alignment I have there. Any tips please?

norcal616 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 its 3 bolts...top,bottom and behind the 2 hoses... the upper shift lever arm will have to come off,no need to undo the shift rod or the pivot joint, just push down on the foot lever to expose the top lever arm bolt more so you can fit an allen wrench, you can mark it in a way so you put it back in same place... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbeau Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 If you peel back the rubber boot at the top of the rod there is an Allen bolt that can be loosened much easier and will allow the shift linkage to move out of the way so you can remove that plastic cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rain at all over recent months, Robert - as you'll know - so any road-grime was mainly dust, easily hosed-off!

leonardlloyd Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 let us know if it goes as smoothly as described. Another '39 model may want to change countershaft sprocket with one tooth larger version, as gearing seems so short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
