March 23, 200818 yr Any help would be appreaciated. Haynes manual says you have to remove clutch, alernator, primary chain tensioner, and engine sprocket simultaniously (probably dropping all 25 beatings in the process) before removeing the cluth back plate to get access to gearbox sprocket. Is this the only way or are there any shortcuts ? Thanks.
March 23, 200818 yr That's pretty much life with a unit single. If you aren't already aware of it http://www.b50.org/ has a lot of very useful information. cheers, Michael

Yep thats it Just think yourself lucky you havent got an unmodified cub cos then you have to split the crankcase also Then they wonder why the British Motor Cycle industry went down the pan ?
March 23, 200818 yr Isn't that the same as a 32a villiers you have to remove the entire clutch assy and chain to change the bloody front sprocket! the Japs got this so right when they designed there 2-stroke singles!

Thanks for the info, fortunatly the sprockets last well as long as you change the chain regularly.
