My big gear is really loose! Should it be?

Nugget · Sep 22, 2014

Cheap motor brand new.. Went to lube gears and the big gear is all sloppy.. Moves back and forth and wiggles about 1mm maybe more.. Runs, powers bike.. Doesn't seem right.. It's also back further than the little gear.. Like they are 80% meshed..

Advice sought and regards

Sounds normal. It's common for the gears to not line up perfectly. Make sure the bolt that holds the gear on the transmission shaft is tight. After that if your bike is running alright then forget about it. China Girls quality is all over the place. Some gears are looser than others.

Thanks for the replays guys.. I took it into work and we got the cover off and it seems ok, it's just a 'little' loose on the tolerances as suggested lol..
See how we go.. I've put it onto a freebie, found some bars, turned em inside out, upside down.. Real rats nest of neglect
Im crowning it the nugrat..

Regards
