I would just get a split link for the chain, they're cheaper than a tool & is easier to take off/on in the future. Less area to make a mistake fitting the chain aswell. I have a DID chain on my vafradero with a split link, and have ran it over a few thousand miles & it is fine.
So instead of buying the tool,I can jsut buy a spilt link and use it on the HD chain? EDIT:I went back to have a proper look and found the split link in the chain,no chain tool needed then.
Yep, If you want to be really anal you can get a special tool to install the split link pin. But as long as you don't break the o-rings whilst installing/removing Its fine. I've always used a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the pin. If your bike chain that you're removing has a riveted pin, either take a grinder and grind the rivets out of the link and then it will pull apart. Or get a hacksaw (A 99P one with a decent blade in should suffice) and just cut it off.
It's alright,I found the spilt link in the chain, my next worry is leaveing it up on an upturned chair as a makeshift paddock stand, I've sued to lube the chain up but don't know how it will take to the wheel being removed.
Right all my new shiny parts are here,bit cocnernd about the rear sprocket,looks like it was designed to house a brake disc ,might just be the slots for the wheels as I've never seen one..
Im guessing you didnt "check to see if its the same"?......what doesnt line up, the mounting bolts? Just send it back.
Well,it was an estimated guess,the center hole and mounting bolts aren't right,but we have rectified the issue.All in all,evreythings back on and all is well.
Dont be stupid! He wouldn't of been able to get there! His chain was too slack, that meant he had a fuel leak and his headlight fluid was heating up too quickly causing the tyres to lose pressure.
It was worse then that,because the tyres were loseing pressure it caused my coolent to heat up faster, witch then caused the rear brake light bulb to flicker witch then caused the piston to get stuck.
