    Hey guys here's a tip for cutting down your chain if you don't have the tool to do it, I use a drill bit to grind off the flat side of the chain pin, only takes around a minute until you are left with no flat side then you can just push it out with a screw driver, hope that's useful to someone and I explained it well enough :) good luck guys

    @Hughes motorized. So are the chains that come with the motorized bike kits beveled? Do you've to grind the bevel down first? Or can you just go straight to the chain breaker tool and pop the pin out with it? Thx for the help. Always love how well you explain and especially how well you show the stuff you're explaining. Always love a like and a comment. And share it of course. Thx

      @@HughesMotorized I've researched it and it seems the regular unleaded gas has lots of bad stuff that gets in it. Especially water which is really bad right. So wouldn't premium gas be better as it doesn't have that much stuff in it. But I'm guessing this is what you use and have never had a problem. Honestly I wasn't expecting that answer. I appreciate your honestly and straight up answer. The best ppl to learn from are the ones with experience. Thx again

      @@stephentrujillo7555 My philosophy is to keep it simple and cheap. Never had an issue. Only issue w/ gas is if I let the bike sit for months over the winter or get a new bike and let one sit. Fuel stabilizer or draining the carb would have avoided the issue. these are very simple, cheap motors. No desire to spend more on gas or oil than I spend on an engine. I've been running my current one for 5 years no issues

      start at 4oz and if you are getting smoke... then go to 3.5, new motors will always smoke.. so run a couple gallons through at 4oz before lowering it.. If no smoke at 4oz then your golden..

    You can also use an angle grinder to knock the head off of the rivet and then the pin will usually fall right out.

      @@fredfrederickson Many of the lower-end chain tools take some technique to use. The tool's pin often slides off or like you are experiencing, the jaws slip. Need to get jaws firmly in place and under the plate while aligning the tool's pin with the pin on the chain's pin. Once it is aligned and secure then you slowly tighten the tool up to break the chain. Tell ya what. I'll upload a better vid this weekend showing how

    I don’t understand why you had to break the chain twice , why didn’t you just drive one of the chain pins out at the length that you wanted?

    • @Graham_Wideman
      @Graham_Wideman Před 2 lety

      Good question. I think it's because on this kind of chain tool, it has a cone-shaped pusher pin, so it goes into the plate only far enough to push the pin through the top plate. So you use it on two adjacent pins to remove the plate. The alternative is to use a tool whose pusher pin is a rod slightly smaller than the chain's pins, and you can use that to push the one pin all the way through the bottom plate as well, at least until it's almost flush with the bottom plate, and then the two links come apart.
