Spur v Rim for 261

Recommended Posts

I have a 261 (2013) with a rim sprocket and a 241 (2014) with a spur sprocket. Given all the trouble lads have had with their 261's which seem to be attributed to rim sprockets, would it make sense to head off any future problems by swapping the drive sprockets around? What do ye think lads?

The troubles with rapid wear on MS261 crankshafts have all been attributed (as far as I am aware) to the clutch drums with rim sprockets. Spur sprocket drums appear not to have any issues that I have heard of.

 

Not surprising, as a spur sprocket on a 261 would be a rarity. :sneaky2:

Thanks for the input lads, i might be robbing Peter to pay Paul so. I'm fairly anal about greasing up the needle bearings every second Day or so. I use Oregon red liquid grease, it's great stuff.

 

 

Never greased a needle bearing in all my life! Never had a problem
