Easy job to do the sprockets & chain mate, just a few hints to help you along.

With chain still on, Use a piece of pipe (I use trolley jack handle) thru the rear wheel to lock under the swingarm.
This enables you to undo the front sprocket nut/bolt (different bikes have different sprocket setups).
Always use new bolts and nuts when fitting the new rear sprocket, don`t overtighten sprocket bolts because they will stretch :whistle:

Fit new front sprocket but nut/bolts hand tight only.

Fit new chain being careful to set the correct length to suit your bike , use chain breaker to remove links (I have used a grinder to grind rivet heads in the past) A breaker is a better investment $50 for a toolbag size one.
Be sure to install the master link with the open end of the clip facing the rear of the bike when it passes over the front sprocket.

Retension the front sprocket nut/bolt by using the pipe method again, but this time locking on the top of swingarm.

Use a small screwdriver in between the chain & sprocket, turn wheel in reverse and tension axle nut, then remove screwdriver,,,

ALL DONE

Sorry I have no pics to explain these, might be able to take some examples later today if you need James

Ring me James :laugh: :laugh:

You may want to put a set of chain and sprockets on before it but. The mileage you have got out of the originals is mind blowing

TB

Thanks TB, looking forward to it.

Mileage probably due to the fact that I ride like a 8 year old girl 😆 Could you give me some part numbers or brands of some trick sprockets and chain which suit the tenere so I know what to order as I am unsure whats best.

Thanks James

Yes TB and Eags, a valuable skill to have when out on the trails although I am not sure whether I changed these tyres with much skill, more like bumbled my way through the process but there on :silly: They are replacing the ones you did for me TB some 5000 and a bit klms ago so was in need of new ones 😆

Knuckles didn’t suffer any damage Eags which is a bonus,mind you I just plodded along and didn’t rush the job.
Is it hard to change the sprockets and chain Eags as I think mine may need replacing as the chain came off once on the recent ride I did with PTW and had to tighten it 3 or 4 times on the trip

Changed my first ever set of tyres today To say I am stoked with the outcome would be an understatement. I know it sounds lame by comparison to what others do to their bikes around here but for me it was milestone and a new trick learnt

I even resisted the temptation of squeezing the brakes with the wheels off :laugh: :laugh:

Is this ride still kicking off from St Albans TB :unsure:

Thanks James

Clubbys hill looks a lot drier than when we went through on the nav ride earlier in the year TB.

Maybe he should have another crack at it :laugh: :laugh: :whistle:

[jim cadyMember]

Enjoy the ride TB and Lefty, wish I could go too :pinch:

Be careful PTW , those horses can be dangerous just remember they can all bite, buck, bolt, kick even p#$$ and $%!# on ya if they catch you off guard :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Have a good one with the kids
