Front sprocket cover?

[timmyjimmy5150]

I was thinking of replacing my front sprocket cover with an aftermarket type --- if there is one... Does anyone have or know of a aftermarket front (countershaft) sprocket cover for the 1000rr? Something either "open" to view the sprocket and chain or something with "slash" cuts in it..... The open version would be ideal for quick sprocket changes....

Any thoughts?

I haven't seen anything out there yet. Maybe Mike can get his buddy to make one now that he's getting a '07 Repsol. I know he makes some cool chain guards for the R1. :)

A lot of guys have been removing their chain guards and cutting the outside off themselves. I think it looks a little rough around the edges but I think it's a cool mod when it's done right.

I could see cutting the front cover out and just leaving the base frame there...... That would open up the sprocket --- problem is what you said... It would look rough if not done profesionally

I've seen a few done on 1000rr.net and they don't look that bad. I would prefer a nicer billet option as the little rough edges would probably just drive me crazy.

Just checked it out, looks sweet. They say it's called the Nicky Mod.

As for removal of the front sproket cover - does the clutch need to be drained? It looks like the slave cylinder is attached to the cover and needs to be removed before the cover can be removed and the front sprocket accessed.

Is this the case or am I missing something?:confused2:

Can the sprocket cover come of without removing bolts #30 & #32? and removing bolts #31 & # 33 only?

Appreciate any help you can give me - thanks

the 2005 model you would need to remove the slave cylinder before you could remove the crankcase rear cover over the front sprocket

[O.A. for life]

no draining required, just unbolt and push out of the way. the chain has to be removed though.
