Lt80 front sprocket loose 1/8 free play normal
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

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.
