I think my output shaft is bent

[hyhflo]

im not sure all the signs are there tight then loose chain.and the chain walks left to right hitting the frame.
no real move ment looking at the sprocket with the chain moving it.
I need to put a dial indicator on it?
My question is how much work compared to OIL COOLED 1100 trans?
If i remove the front sprocket will this be plain as day to see the bent area?
HELP?

Is your bike modified ie: turbo, lots of nitrous or see hard launching. Those shafts are pretty tough it is doubtful that the shaft is bent. Usually if something goes it is the splines on the end of the shaft, not necessarily the shaft itself bending.

yes indicator on the shaft and look for runout

you must do a complete tear down to replace it.

bad chain...or bent sprocket...

unless its aluminium...never seen a bent steel sprocket(non crash related)

Sounds like a worn sprocket to me.??? Start with the cheaper, easy stuff.
