Hello
I recently obtained a 2002 Hornet 919. I replaced the chain and sprockets with brand new RK GXW chain and sprockets as the OEM ones were well worn. When I put the new front sprocket I noticed a significant amount of rotational play. I figured that must be normal.
Now my issue is that when accelerating (usually when releasing the clutch) I often get this clunk that seems like sprocket play. The chain is tensioned and adjusted correctly and still freshly lubed from the box. I've only ridden about 150kms total.
Before I go buying new front sprockets, has anyone had any issues with different aftermarket sprockets? Does the OEM sprocket do this too?
Is the gearbox just clunky and I should just live with it?
Cheers
Vinny.
