is it just me that see's a better compromise between the two ?would a 12mm nut with a 3mm gap be even better?ok that extra 1mm wont be on a thread but would reduce torsional stress/flexyes i already know the reduction would be minimal but as tesco says 'every little helps'great drawing by the way - great to see stuff like that when its not coming from a design aspect but more a 'what is there' aspect
Thanks for the replies, that clears that mystery up.bandit - Do you suggest replacing the sprocket just because the nylon has broken up? I see no reason not to do it at the same time, but if I change the front sprocket I'll be tempted to do the chain at the same time, then the rear sprocket too (both worn, but not enough that I'd normally replace them yet)...As for nylon vs. plain steel sprocket, does the nylon ring make much of a difference? I'm guessing it only has an impact when switching between acceleration and overrun since the teeth would keep the chain loaded sideways the rest of the time?
Very interested to hear your opinion on this sprocket limax2, whether it is as good as the original one noise wise.
fitting the locking washer is gonna be a bugger with that rubber sitting in the way
ooh it fitting wont be a problem - but you have to be able to get a screwdriver in to bend up the tabs - original looks like its tapered at about 45degsthe new one looks much steeper

I wonder how long the rubber would last until it has worn down a little and not doing anything - like the plastic one.Has anyone had any experience in any other make of bike that has this sort of sprocket fitted, the 1st Fazer 600s also had a noise dampening plate on the inside of the sprocket cover - could it be that for whatever reason they deemed the FZS noisy in that area.

I can’t think of any other reason for the gaps.
