Hi and welcome mate,

Woodstock · Post by **Woodstock** » Sun May 15, 2016 7:51 am

I first had an R6 which loved, but the nut came off the front sprocket and smashed hole in the crankcase!

Then I had a GSXR 750 K6 which was a really good bike, but it was never what I wanted.

I've always wanted an R1 since my older brother mate bought a brand new one in 99' when I was 12 and now I've finally got one.

I've also got a wr400 and go green laning up around Buxton when I get chance.

Welcome to the forum Gav, I can see your Anniversary will be well looked after, I see you have been polishing her with autoglym

, these new R1's are a cracking bike she will be perfect for the roads around Buxton

Welcome

Stephen

I think you'd best get some pics up of the WR sharpish

There's a few of us with greenlaners & motards on here , Godders has just bought a WR , Maverick has WR in trick supermoto trim , ginger Jon from belper has an XR400 , Alex_H around the donington area has a ktm and I'm trying to finish off my CRM250 and have been offered a gas gas pampera for the wife .

I went out a couple of times in Derbyshire up towards south Yorkshire with a couple of guys from belper , Dave and Martin ended up running the local TRF but that was nearly 20 years ago .
Nice WR

I had the front sprocket nut come off my half-one but I was lucky that it only hit the rear tyre , I'd hate to think the damage it could do at the speed I was doing !

Hi Gav, love that bike! I see you have gone for the link pipe for it to go with the free end can, it looks good.

It spat all its oil over the rear tyre. I was lucky because I wasn't hanging about

The hole in the crankcase was just like this.

The front sprocket nut on my KTM 640 actually split in half, but I never even noticed until I was changing the sprocket again, which was nice

Love the anniversary!

Nice scrappy , no nut

Had the bolt holding the front on my Kim Duke II sheer off & sprocket come off too , when it happened on the half-one I made a new sprocket cover & crankcase protector

Post by **Moise** » Wed May 18, 2016 7:53 pm

Seems like a common problem. The nut on the 4xv came loose after fitting a new sprocket, but the lock washer stopped it coming off.

Even better Jompy, it bounced up and hit Bub on the shoulder at full chat.
