Zorro Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I recently purchased a 520 Kit for my R6...waiting for delivery. Like a kid on christmas, when I get something new, i want to play with asap. anyway, I'm familiar with replacing sprockets but have no clue on chain replacements. so, does anyone want to offer their assistance at my house in Dublin? I'm guessing a "chain tool" will be needed. I have stock chain (I believe), and going to a DID ERV3 Chain.We'll celebrate the installation with Yuengling.

KruelHouse Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'm available tomorrow to drink your beer, and possibly change your sprockets... However, my experience is nil when it comes to chain tooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APCh8r Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 you will need to grind down one of the old rivets on the stock chain then press it out with your chain tool. Make sure you measure many times to make sure you have the right length on the new chain, better to start off longer if you are not sure then go short. If you have any questions feel free to call. What gearing did you go with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APCh8r Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 cut it to where you can go anywhere between 45-47 in the rear. You will want to be able to change out your rear sprocket for different tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
