If ya replaceing the stocker, just cut it or get a chain braker. A small little tip is to once you have the old chain cut/broke is to link the new chain to one end of the old one, than as you pull the old one off it will feed the new one right around the front sprocket. Like I said just a small tip, but it makes it a little easier.

heck, i thought it was a pretty good idea. mainly it will just save a little bit of time with putting the new one on. it probally would be easier than taking the chain guard off wouldn't it?? its not like that is hard to do, but i am always looking for shortcuts. even if others don't like the tip, i do danney.

Thanks cals400ex.
and as for you dariusld :rolleyes: Who said you had to do it that way. I just found it easier to do it this way since I have a larger front sprocket and the chain verily slides between the sprocket and case saver.
Oh well it was just my two cents, to each his own.



You ungrateful little @**(#@#&(

Just J/K:D

Just J/K:D I just thought you knew something I didn't( not that I know anything). I just couldn't picture that helping in any way. I didn't mean to offend you.
