DB-03 Front Sprocket Warning

Cam · 01-18-2007, 05:38 PM

I don't know if this bike qualifies here or dirt, but hopefully the word will get out. I have seen pics of two of these DB-03's here.

Today, I pulled the sprocket cover to count the sprocket teeth for a gear down and I noticed the sprocket was loose. There was about 4mm of space.

The bolts were tight and the lock washer was ok, but the sprocket was not seating on the shoulder of the output shaft. Not good.

At the very least you could bugger up the spline on the shaft, at worse it could break the washer plate and bolts and lock the rear wheel up.

I don't know if this is a problem on all of the DB-03's, but if you own one you might want to take a look see.
