1976 900 A4 is Next Up

I just noticed if you inlarge the photo of the chain, the sprocket is ridding to the left side of the chain. Maybe it just needs some spacer work done to shift the rear more to the right

i'm curious about the spacer between the cush drive and the inner bearing???
have you had that apart yet?

No I haven't, im out of town for a few days. Last minute work requirement. I did notice a wear (shinny) area around the axle on the drive side. See below

Man something not right....either arm or sub frame bent.

This weekend I'll pull the rear tire and investigate deeper

The plan is to rebuild the cards. I have all the parts and new jet all ordered. Once they are done I'm gonna put them back on the bike and start it off my auxiliary tank. I bought this bike over 25 years ago with out even knowing if it run. I thought it was a Z1 and wanted it no mater condition. So if it runs without any weird sounds or obvious issues then I will have a better idea if I'm gonna do more. But it won't hurt to at least pull the rear tire and investigate

If you have time could you post a picture of the rear of one of your A4's

Your sprocket carrier looks to sitting in the hub a little to deep. when you pull your wheel you should this spacer between carrier and wheel hub

............and if you try reinstalling it this way, your obviously going to have some issues :S

Thank you. Like I said I'll be out of town a few days. So I'm not ignoring the replies just not able to do the work to diagnose the issues.. but I can't reply to your inputs
