Hi All. I need to change my chain. I have never changed the chain nor removed the rear wheel and I expect to run into a couple of gotchas.
Here is what I have:
A service manual
The right sized wrenches.
What else should I have in hand when I start the job?
I got a D.I.D Pro-Street X-Ring 520VX2 114 Link Chain based on a post from OCR indicating that is what he uses. I notice the stock chain is a 112 link chain. Will I need to remove two links?
Is there a trick to getting the right tension on the chain when you tighten down the axle so you don't end up with silly settings on the tensioners?
Are there any rules of thumb I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance!
