I have to shim my drive sprocket. Someone please tell me that this can be done and how to do it. I mounted the rear sprocket to the disc brake mount to prevent wobble but now there are chain alignment issues.
I would think a shim would get the 10t to fare off the key and shear it-moving the hub and re-dishing the rime gets your chain strait BUT your tire will still be close to the chain - how close is the tire? maybe thinner tires or a shift kitYes it is the drive sprocket on the motor itself. Is there no way to get a shim behind that sprocket...the chain alignment is not off by that much but I'd like to shim behind that gear on the motor to get the chain away from the tire as well. Need the magic answer that I've got so many times from this site?
well, you must have found the way, as this post is almost a year old. but for any newbs reading this, YES-you can do it. it will garner maybe 1/8" width. remove the gear / cluthch arm cover, and use the black hardened puller tool supplied with the kit (looks like a threaded double nut thingy) to remove the 10t sprocket. it will be on there tight so get some leverage on it, and dont dent up your bearing wall behind the sprocket in the process.I gotta try the shift key!!!! Love it!! The chain is close to, but not hitting, the tire. Thanks again for all the info gang. You guys are awesome. I am talking about shimming the gear on the motor. Very important. I believe 2door you told me it wouldn't be easy if it could be done at all.
