[SethO]

found out this is bad today, have to leave for the salt flats on thursday.

Len said he was goin to check and overnight me a front sprocket for my 09 rs.

Thanks to Firefly for the post about his being bad I will have to search for that to get all the tips on getting it out and putting a new one in.


there is always something, I also have a video of the "crack pipe exhaust" which is one of the loudest things I have ever been around.

Hope you can switch it out and get to the Salt Flats ! If you do get to the Salt Flats good luck with your runs ! Show the world what a Spyder can do.

Hope yours comes off easier than mine. Mine was lodged on pretty good due to spline wear. We used a puller on the sprocket flange area and as expected it broke the flange.

The broken flange area allowed one of the puller arms to get behind the sprocket -- then we used a torch to cut another 'slot' 180 degrees opposite for the other arm to get back onto the back of the sprocket--

One of us worked the puller while the other held a large clamp to hold the puller arms together.

Clean the splines really good and take pics... I would also use a new bolt if you have one-- and mark the parts (bolt, shaft, sprocket) when you put it all together with a marker of some sort so you can visually see if things move.....

Wish I could go with yah to the flats bro.....
