Intermediate Sprocket Tightening Sequence

Note

♦

Always replace the intermediate sprocket. Otherwise the

backlash will not adjust itself and it could result in engine dam‐

age.

♦

The new intermediate sprocket has an anti-friction coating that

wears off after a short period of use, which automatically ad‐

justs the backlash.
