Re: Chain & Sprocket replacement
I think suspending the bike freaks people out a bit, for some reason. Also, taking large bits off is scary to people even when it's straightforward.

I reckon it's like Northwind says it's the mechanics of supporting the bike coupled with the apparent size of the task. I've got an Abba stand, with the swingarm removal adaptors, but I still find excuses not to do it. |

Stick to the diet or the boys wont like you Buy this big gas guzzling moster of a car or everyone will think you have a small d**k Kill all the germs in your house will 50liters of bleach etc. under fear of causeing a new plague epedmic and killing your childen. everyone is a terroist - be affriad etc, you get the idea. BUT I dont suscribe to this and always try to play with my bikes myself, I think the first thing I did was tighten the chain on my RS125, then do the spark plug, then chain/sproket under the watchful eye of my uncle who also fabricated a padock stand of it! Anyway, my message is - try and do it, if it dosent work and you give up, put it back together and take it to the shop. BUT TRY FIRST |

Re: Chain & Sprocket replacement
Is there an ignore feature on the site where you can hide some people's posts? Some make me so angry it would be so nice to avoid the riding blood pressure.
