Hello was cleaning the chain and noticed the front sprocket(The one that connects to the engine)Has about 1/8 wiggle room ...is this normal ...Or should it be tight. It’s C clipped and then has another type of weird bolt over it ...atv runs great ...just wondering if I should investigate this front sprocket being a little loose ...will move 1/8 inch back and fourth

 

Ths sprocket has some play in it and would seem normal to me. Altho, I don't understand the nut. It should be sprocket and clip only.

 

Wonder if a Honda type sprocket has been fitted, these have a bolt holding the retaining clip in place rather than a circlip. May be worth getting a Suzuki sprocket and circlip. Note, I think two different types of chain were used depending on bikes age, so sprocket needs to be right for whichever chain is fitted. However a Honda type sprocket may have been used to cure a badly worn spline which threw circlips off.

 

it was this star sprocket ...then the c clip everything is the same as in the picture. I was just concerned about the 1/8 free play back-and-forth..love this thing ...thanks guys ...just changed the air filter pain in the *** ...and oil change next ...how often do you guys change trans fluid

 

I change the gearbox oil once in a blue moon. 10-40 oil in it.
