No offence here but if the chain and sprockets look so bad, makes you wonder how well the rest of the bike was treated Shocked

B*stard B*stard and double that.

Being a rider only and not a mechanically sounded lady AT ALL, I didn't know that Embarassed

Will get it sorted, asap, only went into a supposedly reputable garage not long ago and had work done to the tune of £300 ... supposedly making it completely road worthy and lovely ! Bloody hell, I'm well miffed.

Adds meaning to the phrase 'They saw you coming'.

Sad

To be honest, you could possibly get away with just giving the chain a really good clean, so long as thats just crud and not rust you should be fine.

A chain should be replaced either when:

1) its really rusty
2) It won't tighten enough using the chain adjusters (i.e very stretched)
3) when it has slack spots.

OOO and just to give you an idea on price at the moment, a friend just sold a 2002 rs125 in the same scheme as yours with 6000km on the clock for £1400 so you may want to rethink your price (maybe) or perhaps advertise in spring when the value will be about what you are advertising it at.

If you want a good price try biketrader.co.uk, if you just want rid try ebay.co.uk.

Cheers Mike, will get them sorted and try again in a month or so. Already splashed out on an ad in biketrader - bugger and bugger again !!!

Hey Shell, you could always take the chain and sprockets off, soak them in parrafin over night, then clean them up properly, bit of polish on the sprockets, and new lube on the chain. mite get away fine with that.. Smile

Think I might have a go at cleaning them up, had a good look today and they are mightily dirty. Stoke must be the dirtiest place on this planet !!! I also have a Silver Focus that needs a trip through the car wash at least twice a week Rolling Eyes

Failing that, if anyone wants to make an offer, minus the cost of replacing, i may just reconsider. As I am in the process of moving house and need a washing machine, ikea double mattress, dining table n chairs, microwave and obviously cushions Embarassed

If anyone is flogging any of the above (minus the mattress Sick

let me know)

you dont want to soak it in parafin or anything as the chains have rubber O rings and parafin will destroy it. just clean it with WD40 and a brush.
