ill probably just make a chain guide, and use 2 universal rollers instead of a moulded slider piece.

Sounds good, take some pics.

a set up similar to a mtb chain tensioner works well had similar setup on an xr once rollers tend last for ever and the chain will rearly if ever need adjusting wont stop sticks getting between chain and sprocket though

can someone with a CR 125 or 250 please measure the distance between the 2 bolt holes that hold the chain slider on

thanks

you're lucky im bored! and its 3 bolts. the 2 front ones are long and go right through with a nut on the back side, the rear one simply threads in to the lug on the swingarm

gasgas have few random parts which come straight off of CRs. fork guards, air filters, brakes, engines so i thought maybe the slider might go straight on. theres an aftermarket one on tm, which only has 2 mount holes. but its not for an 06'

Wait wait wait... so your bike has the heart of a Honda?!!

sorry i dont have anything older around to have a look at. they should be the same from 03-07 , but LVN CR250 has the previous generation - he's just signed up. he might be able to help you out

Il go and measure it when it stops raining

* had a look, 99% sure my 2000 model one is the same as boooms

cheese measured that it was 33mm from the two front mounting holes.... which matches on my bike perfectly....

I might have a chain guard on the KX125 '97 roller that might adapt?

This any use? The other pix are for Krads benefit should he spot them!

**krad_nz** · 15th October 2009, 22:35

Heheh. You always were subtle.

**noobi** · 20th October 2009, 19:15

well the CR slider nearly went straight on. only needed some minor modification.......angle grinding.

not sure how long it will last though...
but if it wears through, like what appears to have happened to the one the bike did have judging by the remains, ill make one using rollers like i wanted too

honda part count up to: air filter, fork guards, piston + ring, chain slider, front and rear brake pads, probably the brake assemblies....
