Yeah, I'm not sure how there wouldn't be enough room, though...? The side of the tool shown above is (was) the anvil, and on the opposite side there is a cup that seats onto the far side of the pin. So the tool is just compressing the pin; the only thing that should have given is the pin...

So, I tried this, and screwed it up. - Started by grinding the heads off the old master link pin, assembled the tool and broke the chain quite easily. - Then proceeded to clean the sprockets, and -most of- all surrounding areas - there was 60k worth of Motul Chain fling in there! it took...

Pre-stretched! this checks out. chain link count is good. I like this, and will go this route - thank you!

WOW sooo cheap!! I really wanted the DID Chain Tool, but it's like $150, but zero complaints about it online. These motion pro ones are riddled with poor reviews, it'll be my first time with a chain, but if that tool doesnt fail when used properly, I think it'll be OK. Did you grind the pin...

^ Dremel and a metal cutting wheel?

Maybe I could order a DID 525 clip link while I wait for the chain breaker tool - anyone have experience with them? A close friend of mine swears by them

I'll get a pic or two up later tonight - you're right that it's odd, and I have a feeling it was because of the shop that replaced it last time didn't thread the adjusters all the way back IN when they replaced the first chain; I remember looking at my brand new chain, and seeing that the...

Looks like it's time to replace my chain, again - now at 65k kms, my 04 SV650N has killed its second chain on original sprockets. I was gonna take it to Ace Moto and get this done, but last night as I turned onto my street, the chain jumped off the rear sprocket :(So, I'm not so sure I wanna...

naked's do it better ;)

No. They don't need different rules based on them being less likely to cause collisions - those are two very different statements: - They need different rules because they are a different form of transportation. You can't treat them like pedestrians (although many people think they should...

Still not considering any domestics? That's a shame, as it sounds like the Ford Edge would be perfect for you. Decent on gas, and its bigger inside than it looks. I have a close friend who's on his 3rd (as a work vehicle), and has all the bells & whistles. Not a huge SUV, but def. more room...

If a cyclist hits *anything*, it usually means a significant injury for the cyclist; ergo, cyclists (especially those who ride aggressively) tend to practice more due diligence to avoid hitting anything. It also coincides with the natural human-tendency of selfishness and survival. This...

What? Are you talking about rear stand or side stand? I mean, if you're looking at the sight glass while on the side stand, you're gonna overfill. If you're looking at the sight glass while on the center stand, or on flat ground; the difference is negligible.. This is per my experience of...

You're comparing cycling with your family, to a guy who's solo urban riding in a dense city center? C'mon, son.

There are some laws, but not enough of them, and I still think there is plenty of room for more definitions, such as how they should be have at small and large intersections. At a small intersection (residential, 2, 2-lane roads), I think it's fine for a cyclist to be in the left-turn...

You lack sympathy because you lack understanding. Bicycles are the perfect blend of pedestrian and vehicle, and therefore not all rules of vehicles or pedestrians should apply to them. The laws surrounding bicycles need to be very specific; to the extent that they need to be specified based on...

I think you'd be MUCH better off on a naked SV650. I have one, and when I sat on the faired SV650 for the first time at a dealership, I was shocked at how MUCH more aggressive the riding position was than my naked bike, which is the same machine from the steering stem backwards. Conversely...

Never used! I bought at a charity auction, but TBH, I didn't need it for the project I wanted it for. My loss, your gain. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-power-tool/mississauga-peel-region/bnib-miluwakee-12a-6519-31-sawzall/1260824528?siteLocale=en_CA

Yep, I'm still on my first bike which I bought 8 years ago. I've lusted over many other bikes; went on test rides, demo days, shopped around, even tried to sell my current bike... but at the end of the day, no other bike on the market today (used OR new) suits my use, my style and my budget...

MOTHER (*&@%#^$(*^*&%#!!!!!!! Thanks for staying on top of this, Face! I check this one regularly, cuz downtown just isn't worth the hassle on 4-wheels :thumbup:
