At the carwash.
A Hitch-haul attached to the truck.
Insert filthy things.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Now, go air dry...

Got a break in our winter yesterday so I took it out for an afternoon of riding. Great day!
Lucky duck!

Don't I know it! 60 when I was riding and expected to be 20s and sleet on Friday. I grab 'em when I get 'em!
I am dismantling a TX 500 cush hub with reference to 5Twin's excellent seminar. I have removed the first cogged ring without too much difficulty and directly behind it is another which is a lot more "set in its ways".
Just looking for confirmation that the second cogged ring has to be lefty loosey'd out/off before I go back at it. I have it soaking penetrating oil for a while.
Thanks.

Hi got my seat back from the upholsters sll donr in tan leather. Also added a battery monitor new motobat battery and new Reg/Rec
No problem. The wheel was not on a bike, it took a few minutes and was easier than trying to explain through text.

Hi cafetools not really it effects the timing there is a process.....Plug gap... valve clearance... then tensioner... then timing.... if I remember rightly the short answer LOL
By adjusting the tensioner it moves or distrupts the camshaft as the cam chain goes around the bottom crank shaft and then around and over the camshaft centre cog... so by adjusting the tensioner you can distrupt or change timing either advance or retatd .....so its best to do the process above ....which is the long answer
All the best Funky

Success!!
Trying a single pry bar, I could see that any side force would just jamb up the parts. The penetrating oil seemed to have freed it to the extent that I could tap on a sprocket tooth and get a couple mm radial movement but prying it from one side was not going to release it.
So a couple pieces of wood and a couple flat pry bars, even pressure on both sides popped it off with hardly any effort.
All the cush rubbers are present and in good order, bearings are shiney so a bit of clean up and ready to go.
And to think just 48 hours ago I was driving away from the seller with a massive case of buyer's remorse.
All better now.
Thank you to 5Twins and Hotdog for the how to do it.
