The key to continued sponsorship, spreading the name of the sponsor... and their correct contact.

Good stuff re the chains.

Just so happens I am in the market for a chain and sprockets... but I am not a racer. Will give them a gander.

Thank you Big Dog
Their recommendations come in just over a 100 less for z rated chain and sprockets than the brand i have always used in the past.
Will give them a try when my next on call bonus comes in.
I have never used Regina before, heard good things but they have never been stocked at bike shops I frequented.
It has always been did or kbc before now.

Tension correctly, lube regually and it will last mate. Many people and shops set there chain to tight, not allowing full suspension compression, which in turn stretches the B jesus out of the chain

[AllanB]

What he said. I had 32,000 kms on my Hornet 900 when I trade it - original sprockets and chain all in fine condition - regular cleaning, oiling and correct tension. Reckon I would have easily got 50,000 out of them before even considering a change.

[Big Dog]

I am used to 60-70,000. But then I am a fussy bitch with the chain.
At 54k on the stock chain but i am not sure how it was treated by the previous fellow beyond it was a little tight.
Probably another 10 in it but I'd rather change it while it is not a rush being the main mode of transport.

I need to buy a new chain breaker. Any recommendations on an economical one?
Can't afford to spend over $100 but don't want to buy a single use one that breaks on me first try either.

Ive got a DRC alloy jobby that works just fine, and you can get new heads for them. About $80 from memory.

Got me one of these: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/parts-for-sale/tools-toolkits/auction-1011563344.htm

Worked well the one time I have used it so far.
Only took a few days to get here too.

I bought one of those for my father in law a few years ago. Used it a couple of times. But then he and it moved to Wales.
Nice kit to use.

But... but... but... tools... lol.


Had not considered that... I do have the above.

If you just want the sucker off the angle grinder works just fine. If you intend to put a new 'endless' chain on yourself you'll need a decent method of punching the pins. The more expensive breakers are often a combo breaker/fitter

All you need is a solid surface and a ball pein hammer

maybe if you've got tool skills, but a lot of people haven't so need a helping hand with a presicion tool.

[AllanB]

Is it me or does the word 'Regina' really sound like it should be describing a part of a womans body?

Agreed man! Very easy to bend the sprocket if you do not. This place can be dangerous with suggestions

A ball pein hammer IS a precision tool - a mallet is not....

Ideally you need someone backing up on the other side - preferably someone who won't depart when sworn at....And don't do it on alloy sprockets.

That's me.

I like working with tools but there is more than one reason I am not in the trade.
One is definitely have more ideas than I can put into practice. Especially without the right tool.

I am pretty good at imagining solutions... sometimes my tool skills let me down. Other times I get by just fine with less than ideal tools.

Not a fan of assistants.
I can fuck it up just fine without someone else's input.

I find it's better not to have someone around when I screw up. Less embarrassing that way.

I have fitted a Regina chain to Fatty the scrambler.
Take note.
They are a great chain but the staked joining link is the hardest in my experience to home fit.
Use the best, heavy duty stake riveter you can get your hands on. The cheaper ones don't cut the mustard. MHO
