ANOTHER problem, bike won't start!

[Dozza]

It was until about 10 minutes ago. Now guess what happened?

I was riding and my chain broke! I don't think I'll be able to put a chain on, you gotta take the ******* engine case thing off. Would a motorbike shop have chains that fit Pitpros and are better than the one that came with it because I don't want it to break again....unless I did something wrong that broke it.

I have no idea how it broke. Could have I changed the gear wrong or something?

 

[bojangals]

its a commen problem the chain brakeing just take it into eny bike shop they will have one that fits

 

[Dozza]

If the shop won't put it on for me (heaps of them won't work on Pitpro type bikes) is it easy to put on?

 

[Flarry]

Ive put mine on and off a million times when I get a flat tyre, its fairly easy... unless you're unexperienced...

 

[Dozza]

Yeah, I've done that too but this time I've gotta get the whole chain on. Not just get it onto the wheel.

 

[Dozza]

So what sort of chain do I ask for exactly when I go to buy a new one? I noticed it's a "KMC chain 428 pitch chain". Could I just ask for a 428 pitch chain?

 

[Flarry]

Read the number on every second link on the chain, should be either 420 or 428, probably a 428.

 

[sik-pj]

yep my old pitpro was 428...

 

[Dozza]

So just a 428 pitch chain is all I have to ask for?

 

[Flarry]

Well yeah its 99% chance it is a 428 but I would check the chain first if I were you, unless you lost it when it came off.

And if you didnt loose it, you could just buy a new link to replace the broken one instead of buyin a whole new chain if you want.

 

[Dozza]

I still have the chain but I'll just get a new one instead of getting links. I'll also make sure that it's a 428. If it is, is that all I'll have to ask for? Just a 428 pitch chain, nothing else?

 

[sik-pj]

bingo flarry lolz.. check it first dozza wat size it is mabe they changed but yehh just check ay cheers

 

[Dozza]

Yep will do. If it is a 428, they'll know what I mean if I ask for a 428 pitch chain? I don't have to ask for anything else right?

 

[sik-pj]

just ask for a 428 chain its for a pit bike/ thumpstar

 

[Dozza]

Ok thanks. I'll also bring the old chain in too in case.

 

[sik-pj]

yep do that to be on the safe side ay
