Hello, I am new member to the site. I should have joined a year ago. Here is my situation..
I bought my honda magna from a guy that had crashed it and left it sitting out going to waste. I brought it back to life, it now runs like a champ! A few weeks ago i decided that changing the chain and sprockets would be a good idea, so i ordered a kit off ebay (race driven). When i pulled off the original front sprocket i noticed that it had a thick rubber around the outside edge. The new one did not have it, but i put it on anyway and hit the road. A few days later while driving down the road the inside of the cover is shredded by the sprocket. Ive been all over the net, and to several bike shops, with no help. I tightened the chain, it has exactly 17mm of slack, but i still hear it grinding and clinking around while im driving. If someone else has had this issue, or has a sloution please let me know.
