front sprocket
Guys,
Is it normal for the front sprocket to be slightly wobbley with abit of play? We're talking a milimetre of play. Would like to put my mind at rest. Thanks for your feedback Brendon |
Yes very normal. I have had some that were very wobbly on different bikes.

iv seen bikes with no bolt or circlip, and run a long time without issue.
a wobble is fine. |
Is the sprocket moving on the shaft, or are they moving as a unit? The sprocket moving on the shaft is NOT okay and needs to be secured.
The entire shaft/sprocket assembly moving as a unit is normal within limits. Rotational movement is normal drivetrain lash that becomes greater as the gears wear. Side-to-side movement (endplay) is also normal. Neither is likely to be a problem until the gearbox is totally trashed, and by then you'll likely be experiencing bigger problems. |
