About a week ago i sent the bike to a repair shop for a tire change. A few days ago, when i was about to lubricate the chain, i noticed that the sprocket wobbles, watch the video. When i turned the wheel, I heard that the rear brake disc scratching at one point aswell. Is the wheel damaged? hope you can help me with some answers



Thanks :)

May be missing the sprocket hub wheel spacer. Hard to tell though. Take it apart and check the fiche to see :dunno
Is there a spacer between the wheel and the sprocket carrier missing? Are all the cush rubber pieces in place? Remove, check, re install.

It is either 14 or 2 that is missing or jammed crooked. Or the bearing in the sprocket carrier is fuxored

Is there play in the rear wheel assembly if u pull and push on it with the bike on the stand

and be carefull running it on the stand.. you dont want to end up like that guy that tried to clean his chain with the bike running on a stand. ouch pics where nasty of what was left of his hand
I'm very careful, don't want to lose my fingers :p There is no play in the wheel as far as i can feel..but could it be the bearings causing this?

Norhing at all :dunno

Did they remove sprocket when they changed tire. Sprocket could be bent?
I don't know.. i was relaxing in the waiting area with a good cup of coffee, next time i'll watch over them like a hawk :shifty

Check that items 11 and 12 are on the correct sides. Think I switched them once and noticed mis-alignment.
I'll check that, tanks :)

It is not uncommon to see some deflection in the sprocket as it rotates.
With the engine OFF and the bike in gear, you can grab the sprocket 180 degrees apart, you can flex the sprocket & carrier. It is normal.
The rotor always rubs against the pads so hearing a certain amount of "scratching" is normal as well.
I would advise you have it checked out but I can say, from experience, that both of the things you describe are common if I understand everything you are trying to convey correctly?
