Hi James, Great to hear (and see now by the pics) that you made it through! Because if you didnt survive this trip to Kubu Island, for sure we would get the blame for sending yiy that direction! :pot: What a big big difference since 1 week before that we were there, we were sooooooo lucky...

Front sprocket arrived after 3 weeks in the mail from The Netherlands to Lilongwe, Malawi. We mounted the sprocket and it works fine. We will make it to South Africa with this sprocket! :) Essbee, thanks for all your help and we look forward to meet you, if we get to your part of South Africa...

Hi guys, We found the part in a Belgium webshop, that also serves Holland. They say the part is in stock an the price is also a lot better. (9 euro is about 100 rand) Here it is...

Wow, thanks for all the help! First a question: what is Startline? We were thinking it would be readily available in South Africa, but apparently it is not so... Let us now check in Holland first, because I am pretty sure we can get it there more easily. (We have already bought 3 chainkits...

Thanks Johan! I have send Kumbali Lodge an email just now, hopefully they can point me to a place where we can source the sprocket! We will keep you posted.

Hi all, Thanks for your advice! :) If someone from South-Africa would be coming to Malawi and he could take it with, that would be awesome! :)  I am pretty sure this sprocket is quite readily available in SA and of course we would cover the expenses. Here are some pictures of the sprocket...

Hello, let us introduce ourselves: We are Marly and Dave, 2 Dutchies, and we riding across the whole of Africa on 2 Honda NX250 motorbikes, from Amsterdam  to Cape Town. We are now in Malawi, so almost there, but we have run into a technical problem. We have a worn front sprocket on 1 of the...

The construction on Eliza's bike was different... She has 2 washer: 1 cone shaped, maybe as a kind of spring, this one on the inside, touching the sproxket on a lay-up ring. The outer washer was thick and flat and had a laid-up ring that fitted on the flat ens of the shaft, thereby preventing...

Ps. I got a backup plan in case I can't find the right sprocket before the old one is completely worn: I take the outside 'ring' of a new 13 teeth sprocket, by drilling out the wrong inner hole with 6 slots. I then take the right inner hole with 11 slots from the old sprocket by machining of the...

And then another thing... Or the same actually, because we also have a worn front sprocket on 1 of the bikes. The chain and rear sprocket are still fine, but the front is completely gone... Does anybody know where to find a front sprocket for a Honda NX250 here in Malawi? It is a seemingly...

Hi all, Let's introduce first... We are Marly and Dave, 2 Dutchies, and we are driving from Amsterdam to Cape Town on 2 Honda NX250 Dominator motorcycles. We have the latest news on Eliza, because we met her in Nkata Bay! She had the new chain and the new sprockets (back and rear) fitted, so...
