    front sprocket is not tight

    1981 GS750E .. Today I removed the front sprocket cover to inspect it and try to decide if it should be replaced. The teeth look as good as the new one that I had, but I noticed that the retaining nut did not tighten up against the sprocket. This leaves play side to side in the sprocket on the shaft :shock:. Can't see anything in the Clymer to help me figure it out. Is something missing or worn out ?

    Thanks

    Sounds like you are missing a washer ? it should be tight
    Check the picture http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

      The sprocket on the bike looks thinner than that pic, so maybe a washer will do the trick. Thanks

        Most aftermarket sprockets aren't as wide as the original and need a spacer washer. This is because the sprocket doesn't have a anti vibration plate screwed to it like the original Suzuki sprocket.

          OK .. I guess the previous owner had left out the washer .. the sprocket on there does not look like it has many miles on it.

          Appreciate your help.
