Drive Sprocket Play?

[corypro]

Hey guys. I cant seem to find any info in my manual. My main drive sprocket has a few degrees of play in either direction. The nut is also welded on and was wondering if this is how it should be

 

Thanks!

Wow!! That bike has been neglected a long time.the only way to repair that , is to cut that nut and sprocket off and buy a new shaft and transfer all your gears over.givin the rest is still in good shape.i have that shaft, if your interested in it??PM your number.

Holy shit.. That's terrible. I am surprised that the sprocket didn't start losing teeth totally. You need a whole new transmission shaft.

You sir, deserve 1000 internets for posting a video of the problem you were trying to have solved. It would be awesome if everyone did that.

Hell just build the teeth back up with a welder and call it good.

So far everything has been working out fine. Upon inspection, the person who owned this bike previous to me used a 13 primary and what looks like a 42 on the rear. I was wondering if anyone had any experience they would like to share pertaining to these sprokets. I heard JT's have some play in them as well as MSR, Hard Drive, PBI and so on. Since this is one of the main reasons for replacing the sprockets I was wondering if you could recommend a good brand that has little to no play and is durable.

 

Thanks!

that sprocket is done, and my renthal seems not to have any play .thats a nice weld job 'lol'. it is not likly that your shaft spines have play more than likly it that sporket. so i would grid the weld off and buy a new sprocket and try it. if plays is still their then replace the shaft. but i have a ? why did it get welded in the first place, prob the theards r striipped and the shaft is no good anyways.if i was you i would buy a new shaft,sprocket, sprocket nut and washer, cascade will have everthing you need.
