i saw a machanic do this... loosen the rear wheel nut and push back the wheel, then find the 'pin' on the old chain .

then use pliers to take out...

so now the chain has loose ends, one with the 'connector' connect one loose end to the old chain.

then roll the wheel to let the new chain go round and be in place with sprockets.

then measure the chain and where to cut.. to do this, first use one hand to hold both end of the chain.

then u tap the chain as if u checking on a normal basis to see if its loose or not...test and trail till u get the correct tention(+/- the segments on yr other hand which is holding the chain ends) then count now many segments u needa cut.

(cutting tools is good pointed screwdriver(not blunt)and a hammer)

push the wheel and move the segment to the center of the sprocket then use the screwdriver to rest on the top groove(A) groove smack it with the hammer...

(best is use somthing to prevent the wheel from moving or engange gear for those who are using main stands like PB1)

then move the screwdriver to the bottom goove(B) and repeat.. continue A and B till the front piece of the segment 'fly' out ..

lastly connect the both ends and use the new 'connector' to connect the chain together.. lastly oil the chain etc etc ...

done :smile:

i think the hard part is getting the excess chain out..

 

i have to remind to all that this is wad i saw exactly from wad the machanic did ... :D

u hv to describe hw the tool looks like? cause if u call it "Chain cutter", its refers to the one pple use to cut padlock...Now that is a big tool. dont think that the proper tool. anything smaller and easier/simpler?? :confused:

But that is not a very safe....professional ...proper way to do it. I know the mechanic's method did the job but i dont think it the correct way. there should be a special tool or something.

 

and using the sprocket groove as support to whack and hack away the excess seems like a bit unsafe method.

 

I know there is a special tool but i cant seem to find it or even know what it is called?

stock chains needs to be grind off, coz it's linkless. why wanna diy chain and sprockets where installation is free with purchase.?? although it looks a bit easy. :D

my friend just change his chain and saw the tool. It look like a micrometer cum clamp. Screw it tight againist the joint and the pin will be release. Can be DIY but not possible to do it yourself if u dun have tools.

You are blur, when I say I am blurr.

changing the chain really troublesome...

the electirc saw is used to remove the excess chain...

then to attach the chain together, u needa clamp the joint realli very very tight...

require alot of tools and effort...

and think it izzn't worth DIYing it cos the chain plays an important role and better not play play...

who have ever replace their chain? i got one question to ask....How u cut the excess part??...using what normal /simple or any other tools to cut it off. :confused:

 

yar tried before

quite alrite one lar

use a grinder to remove the rivet then remove the excess part lor

sometimes if u can get the specs from a forum then no need to cut away excess chain

zhun zhun....like xr400 15-45 gearing can use 110 chain links

hi just to ask whether you all got this problem...

i been always watching my chain all this while. but today i saw a disappear in chain oil and show a silver colour on the chain.

Is it due to time to change socket?

or just spray more chain oil?

Never have this problem before even i dun spray oil for 2 months. This time round i just spray the chain 2 weeks ago. Then this thing happen.

Thanks in advance......
