ok... from what I'm reading, and after checking the sprockets out, I should prob get all of the above because the teeth on the sprockets look a little worn and maybe even bent a bit. thanks for the heads up

the two web pages I just had tabbed on firefox were : ohioriders (this post) and ebay (search cbr f2 chain/sprockets) , I'll go with your advice and buy OEM... but out of curiosity what's the functional difference btw press style masterlink and a chain/masterlink? everyone's help on this site is awesome btw

Thanks for the insight... any recommendations on Cleveland-area bike shops? Or anyone who wants to make a quick buck throwing on a chain for that matter? haha

I'll try this !

I lube it fairly often, and this isn't the original 93' chain. I plan to purchase a new one asap. Another thing, I'm no certified bike mechanic to say the least. but how difficult would it be for me to put the new chain on myself? My only experiences, although successes, have been changing the oil / oil filter, installing a new battery, and adjusting the chain. Have mercy on me when responding please.

So my cbr f2 recently turned an old but wise 17 years, and I expect that things will invariably need to be repaired/adjusted/replaced more often. I recently adjusted my chain due to it having too much slack, and I noticed it's nearing the point at which it can't be "tightened" anymore. Does this mean it's time for a new chain?

When a rider has an accident on himself during a long trip may or may not be included, this is the major methodological flaw IMO....

you wore the gear... this is a good lesson for the rest of us to do the same

welcome man... just joined myself, I'd go riding whenever...

Lakewood is more of a recent college grad town than the fruit basket it once was... I can appreciate your hesitation, and no I'm not like that ( not that there's anything wrong with it )

Hello fellow bikers! I just became a member last week, it seems like most of ya'll are from southern Ohio ( or at least not the Cleveland Metro area ). If anyone near Cleveland ever want to go cruising let me know!

Sheffield is still considered North East Ohio even though it's west of Cleveland, Northwest Ohio would include Toledo etc..
