My second hand (or more like 15th hand) YBR 125 felt a bit wobbly and rattling around the sprockets when riding so upon inspection, I decided it was time to change both sprockets and chain. I got the new pieces, replaced the rear sprocket but when I started loosening those god damn bolts which holds the front sprocket in place, I realised one of them is completely stuck. I had the exact same issue when I was removing my exhaust and ended up cutting one of the bolts to be able to remove it. However the area here is a lot tighter here AND unlike the exhaust manifold screws, these bolts actually exits from the other side of sprocket so both ends might be completely rusty and jammed with years of gunk.Ah also, one of the genius previous owners (or some genius mechanic) probably tried to loosen it and completely stripped the hole. So I'm kinda f'ed right now. Long story short, my sprocket is driving me nuts (ahaha get it? 😛)Second thing I realised is that the sprocket actually wobbles a lot - now I'm not sure if that's supposed to happen but it feels like it shouldn't - maybe that was the reason of my wobbly handling? IDK please enlighten me on this as well. I've recorded a video so you have a better idea how it looks like.Any help is appreciated guys... My hands hurt like hell, I cut myself multiple times because of that f'ing bolt, and I am minutes away from pouring petrol on my bike and setting it on fire and have a nervous breakdown afterwards. (yes I obviously emptied a whole can of WD-40 over the course of 3 hour period - not joking)The video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy3OiTp_m-4 via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/eqxqky/yrb_125_sprocket_issue/?utm_source=ifttt
