worn output shaft
i recently bought tenere 1vj and on cleaning the chain for the first time i noticed the sprocket was loose. on closer inspection the splines have worn down about half there width. now it seems that whoever put the new sprocket on used the wrong one as it is thinner than the amount of shaft sticking out from the casing and only the locking ring stops it from mooving back and forth on the shaft. several things im wondering:
1. could this wear have taken place since buying the bike (about 600miles ago.)
2. this bike has the retaining ring with 2 bolts and large splines on the shaft. my other teneres have small splines and a central bolt. are these later bikes where yamaha have changed the design becouse its crap?
3. did the fact that the sprocket was too thin cause the splines to wear or is something else at work like the two sprockets being out of allignment?
sorry long one i know, but dont want it to happen again.
ooh, also, when i come to replace the shaft, will the one with the small splines fit as it seems to be a better design?
ta. karl.
