Just finally ordered my rear sprocket +7, which I can't wait to get been putting it off for awhile now. Anyone ever had problems running 2 masterlinks in a chain(cheap way) or should I stop being a tight *** and buy a new chain. You need how many links per tooth. Original chain was 114 at 43t. What would I need for a 50t?

 

you'll want a new chain with new sprockets. Get 120 links, eye it up and cut off what you don't need.

 

a good chain is worth the money spent

 

ya i got 2 master links but thats cause i pulled a dumb dumb and made the chain to long in the first place. As for new sprockets your gona want a new chain cause they all wear together. I use motoheaven and the dude that runs the place is cool as hell

 

its better off in the long run to buy a new chain. if you doing it to jus get by for the weekend or somethin to that effect its fine. but just spend the extra cash and get a new chain

 

yeah, this squid just put the chain on and didnt make sure that it was properly sized..... thats ok, every noob does that his first time. Thankfully, my first time was with a $20 bicycle chain when I was about 9 years old and not with a $120 chain and $12.00 master link.


always run a new chain with new sprockets..... an old chain will prematurely wear out a new sprocket and vice versa.

 

and hear we go again with the chain crap I was told it was sized already just put on and go but that was not the case now was it

 

like everyone said always run new chain with the sprockets, i am running 2 master links on my yzf thats strecthed out and i have not had any problems with it and ive put about 5 thousand miles on it so far.

 

yeah u def want an new chain with new sprockets.

2 master links shouldn't hurt anything. I have been running 2 in my bike since I geared it about 2000 miles ago. It seems that everything is going good so far.

 

How many miles on the current chain?

If its under like 3k, I wouldnt replace it

 

was it sized for the bike stock or geared?

 

how hard is it to push the wheel all the way forward in the swing arm and stretch the chain as much as you can to make sure its the proper fit? what if the chain was too small? then you would have really been screwed. No disrespect..... I just like to raz you about it... your sit down gorilla scrape yesterday was 10 times funnier!

 

it was supposedly sized for the gears i bought. i got it as a kit and the chain was enormous.

 

ha ha ha ya that was pretty funny the best was when i missed the break off the launch and almost killed my self thank god i make solid parts and dont act like my foot drags wernt bad ether.

 

ha! you looked like you were ready to **** your pants. in the spring, I'll show you how its done. Cuz I have mad skills! me YES you NO! LOL

 

ha ha ok last time you rode you were falling in style and thats about it

 

Btw anyone looking for a cheap quality chain, KMC!

I think I spent $55 shipped on a 120 link chain for my f4i.. 525..

Half the price of name brand DID or RK.. And the chain "appears" to be of quality..

I've ran mine for about 2500 miles so far, still looks new..

Heres a 525 122 link KMC for $63 shipped
