[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 138149, member: 38"] Or the rear drum breaks just on the step down from the from the rim to the hub, and neatly enough that the sprocket and drum look just fine. There you are well south of Perth in the Margaret river wine area and quite a few miles from anywhere and it's 11 in the morning and starting to get rather warm. Thinking the worst (this on a twin) about what has failed in the gearbox. with the rear mudguard flap up and on the rear stand you just happen to give the back tire a spin, and hesitate. Did that chain really not move. Do it again. Say Eureka out loud, assure the wife you will be mobile in 20 minutes, tell the guy that pulls up in the Mustang that you are good to go, Turn the back tire around having had the foresight to run the same size sprocket on both sides so no sprocket changing required, And shortly head off to Adelaide where a new rear sprocket will be waiting. Tell me on what other motorbike that is possible? [/QUOTE]
