Topic: 450-500t front sprocket

[grumburg]

Hey, 450 guys. Removed left covers on the 500T project. Front sprocket has probably 1/4 inch of play on shaft and 1/8 inch of side play. Shaft does not seem worn. Bike has 8000 miles. No metal shavings in all the grease and dirt.  WTF?

          They're not a snug fit but, I don't think they should be that loose. I've got a Clymer manual, I'll check and see it they have any specs on that. Have you ever been to cb450dohc.com? It's not as active as SOHC4 but, got info and lots of experience there.
