Just curious, what are you trying to do?
Does that gear act as an idler by any chance?If you do remove the clutch basket, read the Service Manual. There is a two piece spring loaded gear that drives the clutch. You have to compress the spring w/ a screw driver when you insert the basket. No big deal, but if you do not do this, you will have a loud rattling when the bike is put together.
No, there is no idler for the H2O chain.Does that gear act as an idler by any chance?
Thanks for the helpNo, there is no idler for the H2O chain.
I'm talking about the primary drive gear, it is just above the clutch basket. You have to align the two halves in order to remove the clutch outer (as it is called in the HSM). The water pump drive chain is behind the clutch basket. Page 9-18 of the Honda Service Manual.
Pg 9-16 shows the water pump chain behind the clutch basket.
And what kind of damage. I'll bet that chain must have put a few bikes in the graveyardThanks for the help
Have there been any reports of that chain leaving the sprocket and if so at what kind of mileage
I've been hanging out here since '13 and have not seen any threads describing the chain leaving the sprocket or any bikes going to the great elephant graveyard in the sky for this reason.Thanks for the help
