Ordered the 12mm mainshaft nut and tabwasher from the Yamaha dealer in Abergele yesterday, they weren't aware of the 9mm nut problem, so he said but seeing as it was only £2.99. plus postage, i didn't push the issue.
So, on inspection of the chain and sprockets (the nut was tight), it seems a new set is needed, the front sprocket is starting to hook a touch and besides, the bike had been stood for quite a while before i bought it, the chain looked like it had just been oiled after a cursory clean off of the rust i would imagine.
Anyway, any opinions on who is the best supplier of the kit on ebay?, i'm aware that some people have had issues with some suppliers, so if anyone can offer a good supplier please?
I'm also thinking of maybe going up a tooth or so on the front sprocket, anyone done this?
