MOT just done on Friday with no printed advisories.
Guy recommened new chain and sprockets so back end stripped ready for parcel arriving tomorrow!

Was a nice real easy job surprisingly! Make sure you have a chain riveting tool handy for the final link as I neverĀ :lol
Took me longer to clean all the crap from the casings and re-allign the rear wheel than it did to do the job itself!
I was also hoping that a new correctly tensioned chain would help to eliminate some of the typical Yam gear change clunk, but, nope....

Stripped the rear end down and gave it a good clean, also greased the swing arm bearings all ready for the new chain and sprockets that were delivered today so I'll fit them tomorrow.
By foc was the front sprocket hard to come off! Bit what do you expect after 18 yrs and 28,400 miles :lol
Oh the 4th pic is of my new rear shock spring but can't figure out how to get it replaced as I can't remember where my shock spring tools are
