NEW replica sprocket to replace the rear wheel sprocket on the following:-

Raleigh RM6 Runabout and Deluxe

Raleigh RM7 Wisp*

Raleigh RM8 Automatic

The sprocket has 44 teeth.

This is the same as the replacement sprockets used by Raleigh Industries. The Sprocket does not have the cut outs which were fitted on the original ones (see catalogue picture)

The cut outs were to give the wheel spoke ends some room. To get round this Raleigh used some 1-2mm thick small washers to space the sprocket away from the hub.

The washers are standard sizes available from any good DIY shop.

It is reccomended to replace worn chains at the same time as replacing sprockets.

*"The Raleigh RM7 Wisp originally had a 44 teeth sprocket. It was found that due to the small wheels and some customers riding flat out, this led to over revving causing problems. For a short period Raleigh used replacement 36 teeth sprockets, however the 36 tooth became no longer available due to lack of demand and dealers reverted back to replacing with the original size 44 teeth sprocket. Provided the Wisp is driven carefully and not continuously flat out then the 44 teeth sprocket should suffice." ref Aplins Motorcycles.
