chain

Time to get the old chain and Sprockets off over Christmas, had a Stealth on my Blackbird for a while to time to do the same on the Tracer. Hopefully it all goes smoothly !!

Changed the original chain & sprockets last night, chain was getting tightspots, and setting the chain slack at the tight spot meant I was getting about 50mm slack at the loose spots! Used one of those cheap ebay breaker/riviter tools (about £12) and everything went well, soft link flared out...

Need to change chain and sprockets soon, now done 29000 miles and starting to get a tight spot. I have a choice of DID VX gold chain X ring with Afam sprockets, or same DID chain with JT sprockets. Only £1 difference between them, just wondered if JT or Afam or better? They are selling for £98...

Hello all, As you can see from the pictures the bike is covers of some sort of fine dust around the drive chain - like it is grinding something. I cleaned/ lubed and tension the chain two weeks ago and removed the front sprocket cover to clean and check that the drive chain wasn't grinding...

I've replaced the Monkey-Metal OEM chain adjusting blocks on my Tracer. Much easier to use! See link below........... Motorcycle Drive Chain Adjuster.wmv - Google Drive

I have the Tracer 900 and would like to know if anyone knows if there is a cover made for the gap on the footrest hanger to help stop chain spray from going through it onto gear change pedal or boot

I joined this forum because I did a search for Euro-4 details and then saw a post advising people to put their bikes on the centre stand, spin the back wheel by putting the bike into gear and applying the brake to see if the front brake lever also affected the back brake. Murphies law kicked in...

There is a chain oiler on eBay number 262931000585 under motorcycles parts & accessories it gets 100% feed back and positive comments anyone got one? I dropped on it by chance as I was looking for bits to make one as I've done it before and it worked well using a primeing bulb,in the past I've...

Had a wee bit of a fettle to see if I could improve the oil feed to the chain, think this should do the trick nicely now.

Hi all Am a bit particular about looking after the chain. I clean it on a regular basis then use Wurth dry lube then after that I coat it with ACF 50. Apart from the rust protection it also keeps the chain looking good. Anyone any thoughts on this and what are your ways of looking after your...

Nothing strange about cleaning the chain. I had a good go at it today removed the front sprocket cover for the first time since I owned the bike. I run with a Tutoro oiler which is a great bit of kit.I was amazed though at the amount of oily residue around the front sprocket and engine casings...

Hi guys . Just tightened my chain to manufactures instructions. I have seen a few posts about chain tensioners deforming when tightening rear wheel . I've had three attempts now , and each time the left hand side task turned slightly after I tighten wheel nut . Some of my other bikes have had...

This should maybe in the Tech Section (MOD'S feel free to move it). Had a puncture today so got a set of PR 4's fitted well pleased with them. Not so pleased with the Chain Adjusters after the Mech adjusted them. He apologised but stated that he just torqued up the wheel nut to the correct...

I've just adjusted the chain on my tracer only to find on the sprocket end of the spindle turns against the block marking it and also tightening the chain as it spins,I've got round it by holding the sprocket end with an adjustable spanner while my daughter tightened the nut which I've done to...

Anyone fit a 520 chain and sprockets? Have references for parts? I changed my TRX850 from 525 to 520 and saved 0.5kg, which on the fast spinning stuff was very welcome. Slightly quicker to rev. Not for A mode novices? haha

So Friday I got some new PR4's fitted, whilst fitting the back wheel I screwed the cheese blocks (chain tensioner blocks made from Edam I think) I had read somewhere on this forum someone had used the R&G, I had a look and they seem more practical since the axle head is captive both sides and...

anyone knows what size chain is on the Tracer how many links and what size 525 or 530?
