Navigator chain sprocket

Forums

trying to take sprocket off on early gearbox can't budge it any suggestions

If it is an early gearbox chain sprocket then the thread is left handed (turn clockwise to undo),. Make sure retaining tabs are flattened first. I found it needs an impact to start,

Left Hand Thread on the main sprocket - once the tabs are pushed back.

If the engine is still on the bike & the chain is connected, you could put it in 4th gear and stand on the brake - or if the gearbox is apart, you could try a stout piece of wood through the spokes onto the swing arm.

Or if the chain is not there ary more, you could wrap a chain around the sprocket until it binds - but beware of damaging the breather pipe above it (on an engine numbered below 106838 - the breather got moved after that number).
