My first project - 1974 CB360 K0
Laverda Dave:
Do you definitely have the rear wheel in the swingarm as far as it will go? I always join the chain when it's on the sprocket and not in the top or bottom run due to sag.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I use a cable tie to pull the ends together then pop in the link.
Craizeehair:
I’m pretty sure everything is as it should be, I even took the axle out of the left hand side so the wheel moved forward even more and I could join the chain. I then tried to move the wheel back and tap the axle through but the chain wasn’t long enough to get the wheel back enough to get the axle through again.
I’ve stopped for the day now but will try again tomorrow with any suggestions.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
It's either the wrong chain if it's like that or the front or rear sprocket don't have the right number if teeth.
Craizeehair:
Exactly what I thought Ted but it’s the original rear sprocket and I replaced the front like for like. All the info says the chain is the right length but there’s still something not right. I counted the links on the new chain just to make sure it hadn’t been sent out wrong but there are 94 links as it should be? I will have another little dabble before getting the next size up chain.
