Chains / sprockets

[Paul]

Easy enough to chance chain and sprockets ? Do I need any specialist tools ? Any tips or advise would be appreciated .

[Guest]

(will need).... A chain splitter or an angle grinder or a grinding wheel in an electric drill - to grind the heads of the rivets to split the old chain

Our Paul doesn't need pansy things like chain splitters - he does it with the throttle!!!!

Ohhh! Be careful with that blow lamp. Remember that there's an oil seal directly behind the sprocket!

Leave some freeing agent to work for a few hours and revert to heat as a last resort.

Good luck

Thanks for all your advise guys .Decided to take the easy option and got Dennis Irvine to do it for me . Got the bike picked up new ,sprockets ,chain all for just over £130 , not bad considering M&P were going to be £100 for parts alone .
Will definatly be giving Dennis my custom again :D

So you'll be out tomorrow then? ( weather permitting! )

McG's once put a split link chain on my CBR 600, didn't cause any probs. Made sure I didn't get one again though.

A decent size torque wrench (£10 Autoparts King STD) is enough to take the front sprocket off - (and someone to hold the bike onto the ground)
