Re: [DucatiST] Re: Counter shaft sprocket flat to the engine?

 

No argument, Lee.  I said it only because it's been my experience.  I really wonder if some bikes have a bit of an offset from one sprocket to the other that might cause this.  The only variable I know about is the assembly that the rear sprocket mounts to and I can't see how that could change.  Seems once you tighten the rear axle, the cush drive can't move at all.  Difference in the spacer on the left side of the rear wheel assembly?

Seems reasonable to assume something is pulling the front sprocket in one direction or the other.  If it's not alignment of the rear wheel, what could it be?  Anyone??

Not really wanting an argument, but i dont agree at all, i have been up to pedantic about setting my chain, about 45 mm from memory,and use a prof cat from:: http://www.profi-products.de/en/products/profi-laser-tools. Its a muck around to get it spot on with the beam running along the outer link edge up to the front sprocket, and the correct sag.
My chains now however last and SOUND better after upgrading my suspension.
