'72 CB450 front sprocket wiggle room?
« on: July 20, 2011, 11:29:17 AM »
So I just replaced the chain on my Cb450, and when I removed it I noticed that there is a little play in the front sprocket.  It moves a little from side to side.  Is this normal?  The bolts seem to be nice and tight, so I'm confused.

Thanks.

That's entirely normal, no issue there.

That's a relief.  One less thing.  Thanks!
