Hey Guys!

A Couple of questions for you technical people out there:-

1) I received this from a guy with a 2002 Sprint ST recently -

"I have discovered that the 02 sprints have a tendency to break crankshafts, this seems to be due to the starter clutch becoming loose.
There are several documented cases of this and unfortunatly I didn't know
about it which is why my sprint is on a truck as I write this.
The problem is easily checked by undoing the 17mm bolt on the right side of
the bike and making sure the bolt is tight. "

What's he talking about (which 17mm bolt?) and how do I check to see if my 2003 model has a problem?

2) My 2003 Sprint ST was imported (I'm in NZ), and someone in their wisdom saw fit to cover the chain in thick black grease - it's everywhere - what do I use to clean the bike up? I understand that I have to be careful not to "wash" the chain, as I might be in danger of removing the lube in the chain rollers?

Any help on the above would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Steve
