got a 520 EK gold 15-45 from motoheaven.com 150 to my door took 2days. dude is also on ebay

 

Speaking of chains... What is the best way to determine weather you need to replace your chain? All this talk about chains has me wondering.. Haha. How are those ebay brands?

 

You should have a little sticker on your swing arm with the wear range on it as a blue area. You should adjust your change to have about 5/8" - 1" of play on the bottom in the middle.




If you don't have the sticker anymore I guess you just have to go by the marks right behind the hub bolt. From the look of it, when the second line after the one with the arrows (the long one) is approaching the right side of the window, you'd better be shopping around for a new chain.

 

buy my used RK 520 x-ring chain that still has alot of life left on it and get a 45 or 46 tooth sprocket off ebay and go 14 in the front. The chain is what cost and i got you one here for $50 shipped

 

I do have that sticker, So I will take a picture and let you guys be the judge..

 

Thanks nickels but i think im just going to call it a season unfortunately...I'm getting surgery next week and will be out for a month...then it's almost winter! btw I tightened my chain back up to an inch of play and you can't see the arrow anymore.....no good..

Google is fantastic.

 

Sticker only works if you have the stock size front and rear sprockets and chain length ofcourse. Front: 16 Rear: 45 Chain links: 108


And here is a fantastic tool for finding the speed/rpm and ratios with different size sprockets!

take a link out of your chain. if it still in good condition.

 

take a link out if ya want but its a waste of time. its gona destroy whats left of the sprokets in very short order, and youll be right back outside working on the chain and sprokets again. JUST REPLACE THEM IN A COMBO, and save time money and headache.

been there done that and wasted that time.
