Hi,
I removed the front sprocket to check for the dreaded wear on the output shaft splines, etc. as I was bored at the weekend!!
There is no/very little wear on the output shaft and the sprocket but it did look dry with a little rust between the output shaft and the sprocket.
The Haynes manual makes no mention of lightly greasing the sprocket on reassembly, but I am in 2 minds if to grease it or not, 1/2 of me thinks greasing it lightly would minimise any chance of wear, whilst the other half of me thinks greasing it would attract dirt which would cause wear!!
Your views/experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
