[QUOTE="Matty, post: 103301, member: 1339"] Hi This still seems to be a problem for some, but I have never had a problem with the sprocket splines on my Comet in the 61 years I have owned it. I replaced the worn sprocket about 30 years ago and have done a lot of work on the gearbox since for other reasons but still have this second sprocket on the box after about 50,000 miles and the splines still looked good the last time I had the gearbox apart around 2 years ago. I wrote my findings on this post about a year ago and hope that all is still well because it is a lot of work to take the primary driveside of the bike apart just to find out if any slack has developed. Will ride up to Liverpool from Essex for the Classic TT/VMCC Manx rally in August for about the 40th time and hope it all holds together as usual !!! Happy New Year Matty [/QUOTE]
