Replacing Chain and Sprockets

[dadofthree]

Back together and working on the stand. Getting ready to put the fairing on and do a test ride and maybe get my speedo check in.

I'm thinking you were right, if for no other reason than to be more confident in the master link.

Test ride sux cessful. Not as low end peppy, but really makes some speed. My speedo is corrected as well or my popo peeps lied.

I change sprockets all the time and, with the right tools it is a very very simple affair. Sounds like you got it Dad, but there are some simple little tips that I could possibly help you with next time. Right now I'm running a 17 / 42 for interstate travel, but I'm thinking about putting a 16 back on for the Fall Bash. If I do, I think I'll do a pic article for the board if there isn't one already.

Oh, and again, with the right tools changing the chain is also a very very simple task and I'll probably do that one too.

Just had to buy a 32mm socket. I use the zuki tools a lot.

Sure I get the brake commercial

Maybe I'll wear their T when I do that top end run

Oh yeah, now that I've spent two evenings in my 100 degree garage worried sick about fugging somethin up, you'll post up about your supposed future thread on easy way to do this shid. DAYUM

leave that for the mech and be sure that he has the right tool for your type of link.Cone type tool is for links with eyelets ,and ^ shaped tool is for blind ended master links
