I am installing a 15t front sprocket. I have the bike apart and the oem sprocket has rubber "bushing" on both sides that the AFAM p/n 61600 does not have? Any ideas before I move forward would be greatly appreciated!

ed & Dave... thank you.

It was very straight forward. Put the bike up on the rear stand. Removed the cover. Loosened the rear wheel slid forward to allow chain to be removed from sprocket. Removed oem sprocket and cleaned A LOT of crud and grease. Installed new sprocket Torqued to 37lbs. Adjusted chain and retighted rear whel. Went for easy ride around town and rechecked. Finally I figured since the cover was off and had the rear stand out I CLEANED all the nooks dried and went out for a ride.

Final Thoughts:
RECOMMEND - inexpensive mod and wakes up the power band just enough; She feels alive now.

Hey spoof,

I found that by loosening the rear wheel and sliding ALL the way forward I did not any issues trying to fight the sprocket. The old one slipped out and the new one slipped in.
