Dion Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 and sprockets are here. (thank you Louie "partmonster" and Paula). Now. Considering that the last bike I owned with a chain was a GT750, back when Carter was president, I know nothing about these O-ring chains. Is there any special prep before installing them? Should they soak before install in Oil K.Y Astroglide Hookers or just slap it on and lube it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrich Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 No up front prep. But you will need a chain tool to press the side plate onto the master link and peen the master link pins. Then lube of your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickrad Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I usually clean all of the cozmoline (white shit it's packaged in) off with mineral spirits (it doesn't eat at the o-rings like gasoline would) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hum, do you know anyone with a chain press? :wink:Fag! Now you know I already told you I wanted to get my hands on your tool... (heh heh, I said tool) I went with the EK Dale. That and the Sunstar sprockets. And since ABM doesn't offer a rear I'll also be putting on a Galfer wave once I get my delivery from Tasty Nuts(thanks for the tip). Now if we could just get this suspension buy going 8) Thanks again for your work on these buys dude. I owe you a cocktail or twelve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
