chain

I've just adjusted the chain on my tracer only to find on the sprocket end of the spindle turns against the block marking it and also tightening the chain as it spins,I've got round it by holding the sprocket end with an adjustable spanner while my daughter tightened the nut which I've done to...

Anyone fit a 520 chain and sprockets? Have references for parts? I changed my TRX850 from 525 to 520 and saved 0.5kg, which on the fast spinning stuff was very welcome. Slightly quicker to rev. Not for A mode novices? haha

So Friday I got some new PR4's fitted, whilst fitting the back wheel I screwed the cheese blocks (chain tensioner blocks made from Edam I think) I had read somewhere on this forum someone had used the R&G, I had a look and they seem more practical since the axle head is captive both sides and...

anyone knows what size chain is on the Tracer how many links and what size 525 or 530?

In the owners hand book it say 5-15,mm on center stand now if that was to be measured normaly I.e push the chain up a steel ruler you could read it as 10-30mm,just measured mine this way and its 30mm which is about right I would have said,I think Yamaha are trying to say 15mm either side of the...

Hi, i am newbie, i want to change my chain . Any one can help me to find chain kit on ebay please

I was riding on the highway when my chain jumped off my rear sprocket, all probally due to a way to loose chain. In the meanwhile i have tightened my chain to a reasonable tension. But i was wondering how tight my chain should be. On the tightest part it has about 1cm space and on the loosest...

Hello all, I have 16000 km on the bike and i oil the chain regularly and adjust it from time to time. Few days ago i adjusted the tension again , and it seems that the chain have much more free play only after like 100 km of riding. Any suggestions ? When i know that it time to replace the chain?

hey guys! This is my first motorcycle and I got a quick question. Pressuming that the maintenance of the chain has been performed in an OK way. How long does a chain usually last before it's time to change chain? I know it will also vary depending on if you've done track days or desert riding...

Anyone using these they look good but they should be for the price

Looking at the Yamaha Parts catalogue, the chain guard seems to be retained by two screws and two rivets. Are these rivets re-useable or do they need drilling out and replacing?

I know this has been done to death , I have tried using the search link either I am really thick and doing something wrong but getting no links. I noticed yesterday that I have a rattle when I was stopped at a junction and when I was moving off it sounded like a nose you would expect to hear...

Measuring the chain slack is not easy: A ruler is not easy to position, you get dirty.... So I have made this simple instrument with a picece of hard wood. Cut an angle of the piece and mark the zone width a with from 44mm to 49mm. The recomended slack is 51mm to 56mm but measured to the center...

Hey Guys, I haven't been able to find anything on where you would mount a Loobman Chain Oiling system to the Tracer. Have any of you done this?? If so, where have you found to be the optimal mounting position for the reservoir?? Thanks in advance, kimmie p.s I have been using a Loobman for...

Does anyone have fitted or experience with a Turbo Chain oilers. I normally have a Scott Oiler fitted, Just thinking of trying something different. I would appreciate your feed back This is their website Dealers & Stockists Lew

Now I know that marks on the swing arm for chain adjustment are never exactly right, but generally they are not bad as a guide. I reckon that the Tracer however is horrendous. Add to this that the centre stand gets in the way of doing a traditional string line, there central frame pivot hasn't...

If you have not already seen this YouTube video, please check it out. It shows how different brands of security chain withstand attacks by big bolt croppers. I fancied a chain and ground anchor for inside my garage (belt and braces, or what?!! ). Based on a few hours internet trawling, finally...

Hey, I need some advice on how I could carry a chain while riding with a pillion, I use a 13mm pragmasis chain (7kg) and usually carry it in a Kriega US10 tail pack when riding on my own but this doesn't work when i'm riding with pillion. I'm not going to be fitting a tail box/case and I also...
