A friend and I ordered some new CT sprockets off rocky about a week ago. Im hoping they come monday, because we leave friday for Silver lake.

I now have a 15 and a 14 front. I decided im going to run the 14 for the sand (with 22 inch paddles) that way i can still start in second easily and wont bog up in top.

I ordered more of those lock washers which should be in monday or tuesday. To do the change i will need to:
Loosen chain
Unbend lock washer
Remove nut (30 mm correct?)
Pull sprocket off.
Replace sprocket
tighten down nut (with blue locktite which i already have)
Replace the lock washer and bend one of the flat sides down
Tighten up the chain back to stock spec. (i assume the stock chain can tighten down to the 14 ok? )


Two things i want to make a note of to see if anyone has had problems with it. The Chain rubbing the swingarm nut with the 14 on?
And also having to move the engine mount bolt the other way? (i was told i wouldh ave to do this as the nut is facing the chain. I looked at mine but it looks like the nut is facing the other side, which puts the head towards the chain...looks like im ok?)

Anything else i need to do?
I just want this install to be nice and quick without any hang ups.

Any input is appreciated!

 

i just changed the sprocket and didnt use blue locktite. i also reused the stock washer. Do i need blue loctite even though i used an air gun to put the nut on?
