How to set tension on your dirt bike chain

[monsterenergy66]

is that sproket the one where the center is aluminum (bad spelling) and steel for the teeth?

and if so how do they hold up

[briansmobile1]

@monsterenergy66 Yes. They hold up good.

if you wouldnt recomend me welding the Diferential. i wanted to weld it because i would like to start drifting. (like posi track)

[briansmobile1]

@DIENAMICProductions I say go for it if you have the budget for tires and don't need much of a turning radius. If you want to do drifting sounds like the tire budget is there. Go for it.

[DIENAMICProductions]

@briansmobile1 im sorry i dont understand. what do you mean that it will affect my turning radius. how?

[briansmobile1]

@DIENAMICProductions two back tires pushing the same speed straight ahead make it hard to turn. If you turn left with a normal differential the left tires travel a shorter distance than the right tires. That means they have to go faster on the right to make the turn happen without barking rubber. Draw tire tracks on a paper. Then trace them with your fingers as though they were a car axle. The right finger will have to go faster or cover more ground.

can you just take a link or two out?

[epiphaknee]

That is an Awesome bike and plated (the only way to go)! You mentioned that "this chain is about due to be replaced," is that because you are running out of adjustment? In other words, this chain is stretching out and so it's time to replace? Is the rear sprocket a specialized sprocket? How do you know when sprockets need to be replaced? Very nice video!!

[spelunkerd]

Nice video, Brian. Yup, I'll watch for every one of your motorcycle videos. It would be great to have a string of bike videos showing us how to do the "zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" thing with bikes. My '95 Kaw Vulcan needs the valve shims adjusted regularly -- I'd love to learn how to do that....

[briansmobile1]

@spelunkerd If I get the chance I'll do one.

first! anyways brian. i really would like to put posi track on my 01 v6 mustang. i curently have a CAI and re enforced headers. people have told me to weld my differental. should i. i also wanted to install 3.73 diferential gears. how do i install?

[briansmobile1]

@DIENAMICProductions On that it's easy. I wouldn't weld it unless it's just for drag racing. Once you weld them up its really hard to turn like on a four wheeler. For the gearing- go to ringpinion . c0M/Calc_GR.aspx To install them you lift the rear end, pull the rear cover, pull the 8mm bolt out of the roll pin, drop the pin, push wheels to center, pull the C clips, pull axles out, pull 4 bolts, drop driveline, pull pinion nut, and you're out.
