Subject: loose rear spoket. Wed Nov 25, 2009 5:46 am
Need an answer that seems to be very elusive. While oiling my chain I noticed the part of the hub that the sproket attaches to has some play in it . In other words if I rock the rear wheel the sproket can stay put. It is about 1/16th of an inch movement. The Honda manual shows that there are dampeners behind this part of the hub but it did not indicate if there should be any kind of play . Oh I have a 97 Honda Magna

Are you talking that the play in the axle? Do you have a solid or spoke rim?

Solid rim . Hard to explain.. You know how the brake drum side is two piece with the brake housing on the outside but solid to the swingarm. Well picture the sproket attached to a piece similar to that that fits into the hub on the opposite side. This piece is solid to the sproket and moves with it. This piece has the play between it and the hub. It looks in the manual that this piece fits into slots in the hub and contains dampers. It does not indicate if these dampers are solid or soft rubber and it mentions nothing about free play. Found this Schematic http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche.com/servicehonda/Honda_OEM/HondaMC.asp?Type=13&A=186&B=38 It's part #'s 5 and 3 that are in question The guy I knew at honda quit and I can't ask him. They have new owners and want me to "Bring it in we will have a look " For $75.00 they'll look.

Ok, is it in and out play on the sprocket?
