thecabinboy Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 go get a second master-link. ... and add it to the chain or replace a link? If you replaced a link you would be at the same length but if you add a second master-link it would be one link longer. I would think this hold fine. Me I would go get a new chain of proper length. But I am real anal retentive about my stuff. beware of flying Ninjamasters with streetsweepers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am real anal retentive about my stuff. beware of flying Ninjamasters with streetsweepers! What I meant, is would I have enough room for adjustment if I add another link.? I know you can't tell over the internet and this is a trial and error issue, but I was just wondering what your opinions and experiece is? I appreciate all the feedback. Its cold here and I've been too busy to get in there and finish it up, I'll give it a go in a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecabinboy Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Just razzing ya'. Umm now that I think about it maybe you are right 1 link more might not make it if it is that tight. beware of flying ninjamasters who can kill with just a spoon.

sredish Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I think that 1 link is all that would be necessary. However, I haven't gotten the axle to pivot forward yet. I think that when I get it moved there should be enough room on this chain, I don't really think that I need to add a link, although it might be an easier way, especially if it stretches more.

scotts96fast Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 go get a second master-link. ... and add it to the chain or replace a link? add another link...This will work,but if you want to put the 13 back on for a certain trail you will have to remove that like more than likely.That's why i ground my swingarm the problem will never strike back.

sredish Posted January 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 It's done. Didn't add link, didn't grind anything. I used the bar and it suddenly started to pivot real slow. I lubed and worked it loose. Now its loose likes its supposed to be. I just used a little more persuasion with the bar. Thanks for all the help guys. I appreciate it. Now I just need to wait till morning to go and ride. I may end up with another tooth on the back. But I ain't changing the front no more. Too much of a PITA with the nerfs and cover and all. THanks again. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Duece Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 just go buy a cheap oem chain for 25 bucks...its lighter your bike will coast a hell of a lot better, youll notice a bit more power......get rid of the stock oring pig...adding a second master links not a great idea...and you cant add one link it has to be two.......1 link is not possible every other link is a master weither a pressed link or a removable master....well theres a half link.....

sredish Posted January 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I'm using a Renthal R3 o-ring chain with a Renthal sprocket up front. I have the 15 tooth up front, with the std. 104 links. I still have the stock 41 in back and am going to try that and a 42 in the rear and see how I like them. I'm done messing with the front, if I want stock gearing, I'll get a 44 in back. The front sucks with the nerf bars and all getting them on and off and all that crap.

Dextreme Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 A 40 tooth rear might give you the extra slack you need. If you are able to pull 15/41, going to 15/40 should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiram Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Does the axle even rotate back, as to ge the chain tighter? there are 2 - 17mm bolts that have to loosed alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted January 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Yeah, I lubed that sucker up once it came loose, and now its as loose as can be, I can pivot it by hand with ease. My bansh pulls 15/41 easy. It barely feels like I've changed it, except in the higher gears it pulls longer. There's no doubt that it will handle the 15/40. I'd like to try a 15/38. I'll probably keep it here for a while. I've ordered a 42 and 40 teeth sprockets, and I'm looking for a 38 for experimenting. Like I mentioned before, the front won't be changed again, until its worn out. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
