OK - we cracked into the primary and I held my breath as the case came off...no tiny little plastic dust bunnies!! In fact, we thought it looked pretty good for 51,000 miles. I will replace the shoe, chain guide and associated bolts and gaskets. The only thing that I could see that might have caused the noise I was hearing is a little wear on the shoe, hopefully when it's all put back together, I will hear nothing but the typical thump of a single cylinder Blast. I will post link below, if don't work, go to www.whereismaggiemae.com, top photo gallery and you will see "Inside Blast Primary". Please take a look and tell me what you think. Slightly new brake caliper on way, that should fix the noise heard back there. On the road again.... Link to pics: http://www.whereismaggiemae.com/apps/photos/album. jsp?albumID=1600262} | ||

Looks fine, the adjuster shoe is ever so slightly worn, but reusable. What it looks like now says alot about how it was maintained before. | ||

It could be just a loose sprocket nut as well - do as suggested - take it all the way down, bring it to speck and put back together to speck (except primary adjustment should be on the looser side by at least 5 more flats) and you should be good to go for another 50,000. EZ |
