That's fucked up....kinds like when I went to replce a radiator on a car I had and found a raccon wedged in there.

Maybe the gods are telling you something. Check your pressure more often!!!!

LOL,, i found a large bird wing pressed against my oil cooler on my last VFR. Stuff that looked like eggs was splattered on the block.

Ok, so how did it get in there?

My guess is he's testing the pressure, the tyre is over-inflated and the surge in air blows the tester out of his hand. It richocets off the chain guard, fender, shock and gets lodged in next to the sprocket.

Either that or he was using it to clean chain lube gloop from around the sprocket cover.

Lot of oil around the splines of the output shaft - Are the seals leaking?

Thats PB blast off. The sprocket needed some encouragement.

The previous owner used some horrible non-oring chain that rusted to hell, kinked and ate my sprockets. I was regularly soaking it with wd40 and chain lube. It didn't work. But it did leave metal dust that left a nice metalic rust coating on everything. I think thats why the sprocket was 'sticky'.
