January 25, 201412 yr Recently had my chain come off and lock up on my txt year 2000 which caused a load of damage. After putting it all back together I've noticed the sprockets are miles out of line with each other . So looks like the engine has moved . Has anyone else had this problem and how big a job is it to sort it out. Cheers
January 25, 201412 yr I think you need to make sure you have the correct sprockets fitted, I think they should be flat on a 99 model but not sure. have you got the correct wheel and or wheel spacers, the only other things I can think of is bent swinging arm or worn swinging arm bushes. TLTEL
January 26, 201412 yr Yeah, check that the wheel spacers are in the correct way round. One is longer than the other. One way to tell is if the brake disk is not central in the slot in the rear brake caliper. Chris.
January 26, 201412 yr Author Will check the spacers and the swingarm .Cheers for the reply guys. Will update you when I've looked .
March 26, 201412 yr Author All fixed turns out swinging arm was bent. Couldn't tell till I put the new one on but it's all straight now. Can anyone tell me what chain I need as mine got destroyed. Bike is running standard sprockets. Thanks for all your help.
March 26, 201412 yr Hi Glad you got it sorted, not sure about the chain, I think mine is 100 link and that's with a 42 /10 set up. but my sons bike has 44 rear sprocket. I am pretty sure that I bought two 110 link chains last time I replaced them and cut them to suite. That's a 520 chain. TLTEL
