damn front sprocket

Edward_Wolf · September 01, 2010, 10:10:22 PM

After a few tries I did give up trying to change my front sprocket from 15t to 14t. I have a Monster 796. I did everthing right (I think so) loosen the chain, removing sprocket cover and I did remove the clutch slave cylinder. But i did get the chain of the front sprocket, I need to get the chain of the sprocket before I can remove the sprocket, but I can't. What am I doing wrong?

If you have the chain loose enough you should be able to just slide the sprocket right off. I'm not familiar with the 796 but on mine I couldn't get the chain off the sprocket first. Once the chain was loose enough and the bolts were removed from the sprocket I kind of just jiggled the sprocket off along with the chain.

Make sure the chain has enough slack. Although, like I said, I don't have too much experience with the SSSA. Maybe someone else will chime in soon.

I did use a tutorial of removing a sprocket on a 696, but I think that the SSSA need some extra thingie to do before I could remove the sprocket. I think that i need to remove the sidepeg, not sure (I hope not)

Edward -

I just did it on my SSSA S4R. I sat there for about an hour, staring at the bike before I realized that in order to get the chain loose enough, you need to get it off the rear sprocket, or remove the entire rearset (what I believed you called sidepeg). Actually really easy. Just guide part of the chain off the rear sprocket, and have a friend roll the bike until the entire thing is off. Once you get the front on, you can then just do the reverse. Guide part of the chain onto the rear sprocket, and roll the bike until it's back on.

Make sure you righten the two bolts that hold rear tight! I forgot and the chain went to full sag before I even made it out of the garage.

thx Jimmy, gonna sit and look at it

and after that I will remove the left rear set and fix that damn 14t sprocket. [moto]

Wait?

I hope you didn't read my response wrong. You don't need to remove the rearset. You just need to get the chain off the rear sprocket.

I had to remove the rearset to get the chain off of my 1100. It just takes a minute to take off. Make sure you use a rearstand, because part of the kickstand mount uses one of the bolts on the rearset.

Guys , where did you purchase your 14T Front Sprockets from? I am thinking about getting it for my Ducati Monster 1100 2009.

Heath thanks for your quick reply.

BTW: How do you find the 14T compared to the 15T? Did you think it was a valued upgrade?

I got mine from the dealer he had a bunch in stock. I think it was $35.

why cant you guys just use the chain adjuster (the eccentric hub) to give the chain slack and then just pull it off the sprocket???

I went up the rear +1 tooth. Most people do +3 in the rear since its equal to -1 in the front.

+1 in the rear makes a small difference. not really noticeable unless u put a ton of miles on the bike and know how it feels.

Their isn't enough room in-between the sprocket and case to slip the chain off. I had to take the rearset off and slide the sprocket and chain past the case and then pull the sprocket. I had the chain completely off of the rear sprocket.
