Re: Chain & Sprocket replacement
Cats just give you a funny stare. Then walk over with their tail in the air, rub up against you and try their best to dissolve your frustration.
Or, they head towards the cuboard with their food in Matt |

Re: Chain & Sprocket replacement
This is one of the few jobs I don't do myself... Well, I get a clip link and fit it all myself, then get my dealership to rivet it. Reason being, it costs me hardly anything- a fiver if they're busy, but they've done it for free in the past. The price of even a good chain tool is a few times that, and with a scottoiler chains last a long time, I don't do enough miles for it to pay for itself in a sensible timescale...
Course, you can rivet the link with a pair of hammers, but I'm a cackhanded monkey and I'd get it wrong.

Re: Chain & Sprocket replacement
What about endless chains?
Seems a good idea to me, convinces you to get some grease in the chassis bearings while you're at it.

 It shouldn't take a chain change to convince people to do it of course, but nobody ever does, then they complain about how bad their handling is  Endless chains are fairly uncommon though, if you buy OE for a bike you often find them but aftermarket tends to be... ended?

Re: Chain & Sprocket replacement
We picked up our replacement OEM chain and sprocket set today. £97. Which is very reasonable IMO. The chain is endlesss but the kit includes a link if you want to break it and rivet it to facilitate fitting.

Re: Chain & Sprocket replacement
I reckon an OEM endless chain is best.They just seem to last so much longer than the ones you rivet after fitting.Greaseing up the swingarm linkages as a by product of fitting it can only be a bonus too.
