I have been cleaning the bike over the weekend (95 m600), and while looking at the state of the front sprocket, i noticed a lot of carp behind it (like plastic bag wraps). So i took the sprocket off, not much problems there.
I am now trying to put it back in. now the fun begins.
The fit does not seem to be right.
-first of all, I cannot push the sprocket right back in its cavity.. should it go right back against the engine wall ? (of course, this is where i had all the gunk accumulated, so i didnt notice the gap.). the best i can do is clear the circular grove of the shaft by 3 to 4 millimeters. is that right ?
- next, there is the retaining plate problem. It looks as if it should be sitting just on the grove, see attached drawing, (although i have placed it a bit too far back, on the schematic). is that so ? and then the two bolts just bring the sprocket right onto the retaing plate, filling the marked 'gap' on the drawing.
It looks as if it should work, but the whole assembly looks a rather clumsy design.
am I missing a part somewhere ? I am trying to follow the haynes manual to the letter, but i have seen lada's better put together !
