Chain changing
 

OK- all my parts are on order now. Biggest single expense was the chain break/press/rivet tool. Found deals on the sprockets and chain though.

Motion Pro Jumbo Chain Tool $133
RK XW 520 120link Chain: $75
SunStar Countersheft Sprocket 15tth: $14
SunStar Rear Sprocket 46tth: $43
K+N Gold Oil Filter: $13

Total: $280

I found the tool for $120 somewhere else, but the chain was $116 at Kneedraggers, and $90 something at Ron Ayers, so the few extra dollars on the tool were offset. I had planned to get the XR ring from Ron Ayers, but found the "premium" XW for $3 more at Chaparral. And Bike Bandit has the sprockets for $53/$28. I actually ordered them through the dealer for less! (and no shipping) For orders over $149, Chaparral has free two day shipping- so I figure that offsets any saving I could have had by buying everything different places. I better never have to replace that tool, so future replacements should be much less expensive.

One of these does not belong.

Yeah- but it's less than a thousand miles till my next oil change. May as well get it now and not pay shipping, or have to run for it. Just go to any dealer and grab two quarts.

You could dump that chain tool, get a dremel instead of the break and the cheaper motion pro press tool to put in the new link.

And sunstar sprockets??? WTF

yep multi use tools kickass

whats wrong with sunstar?

and your bike only takes 2quarts of oil?

Nothing wrong with Sunstar Steel. Stay away from the alum stuff.

Sunstar are OEM. Price was decent, and they wear great.

I have a dremel, but I'll get plenty of use from a chain tool- you only have to buy good tools once. I won't be loaning it out, but I can help out any other riders. Soon I'll have a tool set for everything on my bike- or basically any other import motorcycle (jap bike).

:panic: OMG- I've forgot to put in the other two quarts!? :lol: Nah- that little crankcase only calls for two. I feel bad for you guys putting in 4-5 quarts of synth every couple thousand. My 650R is completely happy with dino oil and 87 octane. P-Twin FTW!

I've had my Motion Pro chain tool set for over 15 years now and I just used it a couple of weeks ago! Btw my bike only holds 3 liters so it doesn't surprise me that your bike takes 2.

sunstar = crappy oem china knockoff

Get Renthol or GO HOME

Renthol good shit!
