Chain and sprocket. - sinto607276 - 07-11-15
Yes I know it's been covered before but bare with me please......
So I've known I need to get a new chain and sprocket set, but in searching on here and fleebay all I can find is open ended chains where I'd need to rivet to get it closed.
So really, I'm looking for a complete ring where I don't need to close it.
Has anyone ever fitted this sort, where did you get it from? How's it been etc etc?
Thanks in advance folks

as far as I know (that's not very far) theres no such thing? chain is made in a long length and has to be joined together, the reason being that you would have have to at least take the swingarm out to fit a joined up one, if it's that you don't fancy doing it yourself then take it to a workshop or buy one from somewhere that will rivet it for you.

I meant to actually put that in that I will be taking the swingarm off and doing a wee rear end overhaul on it so I'd rather get a closed chain if I can.

It's an endless chain you're after then Sinto, The bad news is that they're a bit more pricey.
It might be worth looking into a yamaha OE chain? I think they might be endless

Not bothered about price in relation to cutting off old one, riveting new one etc i think the endless one would be best.
I'll look into Suttons and see what they have.

Re: Chain and sprocket. - sinto607276 - 07-11-15
OMG
Sutton prices.....
Chain £149.47
Rear sprocket £111.18
Front sprocket. £30.02
Total. £290.67
That might be a bit much

Really no need for an endless chain.

I was thinking along the lines of time to break old one, rivet new one etc as I don't have the riveting tools etc
and the cost to buy them might be as much as getting the endless chain.

£144 delivered. The genuine chain is endless but the kit does come with a link if you want to split the chain. The front sprocket in this kit is way ahead of any after market one.

That looks just the job, I was looking at their parts list, never saw the kit
I'll certainly go for that I think :thumbup
Re: Chain and sprocket. - Fazerider - 08-11-15
I quite like the Yamaha kit. You get the quieter-running front sprocket and, as you've got to get the swingarm out to fit it, it's a good opportunity to clean and lube the suspension/swingarm bearings at the same time.
Re: Chain and sprocket. - fazersharp - 08-11-15
When you say the quieter front sprocket do you mean that it comes with the orange plastic thing as factory fitted. And does anyone know how it makes it quieter.
When I come to do mine this is certainly the way I will be doing it so to re lube the swingarm at the same time

You had yours on long fazersharp? Any issues with it?
Re: Chain and sprocket. - fazersharp - 08-11-15
Its been there 17 years from the factory -- 15 years with me BUT only done 17k miles (or is it 18k) either way not a lot, so still looking good for now

I tried to recover it Ince I got the bike but to no avail

Looking back through my records, I see I fitted mine in March 2012 i.e. 38,000 miles ago. So, no issues with longevity.

Did you fit the above set? Did you come across any issues while fitting it?

Re: Chain and sprocket. - slappy - 08-11-15
Remember the good old days when the chain had just a removable link with a clip to hold it in place?
