Whitey Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Is there a 18t front sprocket with a rubber damper available for a 1999 xx? I've read that a VTEC 02 VFR 800 16t sprocket will work. Is there a Honda model that had a stock 18t front sprocket with a rubber damper that will fit the xx? Please help? Thanks Pat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 None known. FWIW, I've been running an undampened 18T sprocket for over a year, and have no complaints about excessive noise, etc. I use a JT front sprocket, and it was around $20, IIRC.

DSRbikes Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Why an 18? I have just gotten a regina chain/sprocket set and am going back to stock (had a 44 rear). How do you get the front off anyway? I haven't been able to find that page in the service manual. I know you have to drain the slave clutch and then remove the cover (done). Now before I go and try to torque off the front: [edit] DOOHH!! Well, after reading some other posts I realized I didn't need to drain it, or even remove it from the cover if I was carefull and took my time. Oh well, the fluid was starting to look kind of dingy anyway. I had to flush it out with new stuff. Yeah, that's it, I meant to do that. :oops: 8) Thanks for the help [edit] 1- I want to KNOW I'm turning it in the correct rotation (counter clockwise seems to make sense) 2- what kind or puller will I need to get it off the shaft? (Hmmm...That sounds like it could be phrased better :wink: ) Any pointers? Dameon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XX Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 - no need to drain the slave, just figure a way to hang it while you take the cover off. - you don't need a puller to get it off, my bare hands took it off once i loosed the nut ;o) - for your other questions, i don't have answers except that in my mechanical ignorance i did it myself one weekday evening between commute days. oh yeah, i did use a torque wrench to screw things back together. good luck!
