Hey guys, time for me to replace my chain and sprocket on the old CB250 Jade Now, whats the easiest way to make the chain the right length? Ive never done this before, just taken chain off to remove the wheel so Im good with that. So do I need any special tools or just use a grinder to remove the peens on the rivets and yeah? And by any chance does anyone know the size of the nut for the front sprocket?
I just use a grinder..... carefully Make sure u have the rear wheel pushed fully forward in the swingarm and new sprockets fitted when test fitting for length to allow for future adjustment Closed end of clip should follow direction of travel
It depends whether the chain is the right length (ie right number of links) from the box and what type of chain it is. 1) Endless chain has no "master" link and would need a chain breaker. 2) Chains that aren't endless have a "master" link that is easy to attach. I bought one of these but I still had to remove some links to get the chain to the right length. If you need a chainbreaker, fleabay it - should set you back about $20. Handy tool to have anyway.
i use a grinder to shorten mine, my tip is measure 27 times and cut once. make sure he joining clip goes on the right way.
Also would the front sprocket nut be left hand or right hand thread? Trans is pretty much a CBR250R or a hornet trans
If its the same as an CBR250, put the bike in neutral, then get someone to lock the rear brake and hold the bike while you undo the bolt, it should have some locktite on it. Check your manual to tighten to the correct torque setting.
