    OK here is the deal.
    I'm working on my bike to have it ready for tomorrow Snotcicle ride and I have just found out that I have a wrong sprocket for my bike :(
    It looks like they accidently send me some Yamaha sprocket. So here is the deal:

    If you have a front sprocket for DR650 (520) I will be very very grateful!
    If You have a set front-rear-chain I will be evenly happy.

    I had no chain breaker so I cut my old chain and now I can't put it back together:eek1

    Don't let me dissapoint the horses. I have already bought all the goodies.

    Tom, I have a new(less than 100 miles) DID chain with master link you can borrow. And a chain breaker. And new pins. And an ASSPOT of tools. Maybe you should re-read your PM's.

    Brilliant :D
    It fits even though it looks completely different! The original retainer has 3 mounting bolts and the Yamaha one has two, but it worked out OK :clap

    At 11 PM the bike looked like this:

    The sprocket and retainer in question:

    Old and new tire:

    Altogether it turned out to be a successful night. I got new brakes (front and rear), new rear tire and new chain with sprockets.

    I just hope it doesn't rain tomorrow :wink:

    Big thanks to Dirt2007 for letting me use your cozy, warm shop and the tools. Also, I don't think I would be able to change that bloody tire without your help :bow
