Not convinced about this sprocket thickness isue but going for a Yam one just in case. Sprocket sits on the splines and there's a section of shaft behind, so the shoulder it sits against is probably too small to have another washer on.



I had 2 washers between the sprocket and the nut though so that should have the same effect as a thicker sprocket.

I've put the old sprocket back on for the time being with a new nut and locktight on the nut only. Should have the new chain and sprockets by next weekend which should be less than 700 miles away, I'll then use the locktight on the sprocket as well and accept that I'll need a bearing puller to get it off again.

The old chain is a DID X-ring has been on for 25-30,000 miles (with a scott oiler)
