Gearbox sprocket

Apart from being worn out, as long as it's been competently done don't see a problem? The engine sprocket on my ES2 has been welded at some time in the past and it seems OK.....

Hi Dan,

From memory this sprocket should be held on with a big left hand thread nut. Are the threads damaged as well.

I've seen worse.....

These bikes were just cheap transport for most of their lives and were often worth less than a proper repair would cost. That one does seem to have lasted long enough to hook the sprockets....

I'm not suggesting it should be done now but understandable in the past to keep on the road.

If the teeth are off centre and you put it back on the other way it may line up and you can use the un-warn side of the teeth, lots of life in it yet. (just joking)

That's good news then, Dan. I've changed the oil seal a couple of times but don't recall much about it which probably means it is pretty much a screw off/screw on job but as Uli will probably vouch for nothing is ever a simple screw off/screw on job on a Jubilee/Navigator !!!. Mr Honda probably keeps one in a glass display case in his office just to remind himself how superior Japanese technology ( C50 ) was. How do you say Vorsprung durch Technik in Japanese ??.

Yes Jubilees were worth nothing or a bit less back in the seventies/ eighties and not much more now. But we still love them - they are better than the average jigsaw puzzle (with a few bits missing).
