[zxcvbnm]

hi i was wondering if there is anyway how to make my dirt bike chain shorter.. it is worn to its limit and i just want to make it a bit shorter. i tried to hammer out one of the pins but i couldn't get it out. any suggestions?.... thanks

Angle grinder and a pin punch. Grind both sides of the link out and then use the punch. I wouldnt recommend it purely because the chain will most likely be fcked if you need to take a link out, I had to do it once to my TS50 but I was out of work and just out of school so had no money.

So you want to bodge it and sell it to an unsuspecting punter? Why not just be honest and knock a few quid off the price?

Just don't. Some kid might buy it and lose a foot when the chain snaps, which it almost certainly will before long if it's that loose.

Stick 'needs new chain' in the advert; being a bit of a dick to my mind if you actually spend time making your bike more dangerous to cover up the fact that something needs replacing.

Just buy a chain with no sprockets.

Angle grinder and cut it into three equal sized pieces. Put the three pieces in three dustbins.
End of.

A new chain for a dirt bike is very cheap it should be pointed out, too.

By living in Canada where petrol's a lot cheaper and I suspect there's loads of places you can legally ride without insurance?
