Info
The motor sprocket, rear sprocket, and chain should
always be replaced together.
When fitting the chain joint, always make sure that
the closed side of the joint faces forward (riding
direction).
Info
When a new chain is mounted, the rear sprocket
and motor sprocket should also be changed.
New chains wear out faster on old, worn sprockets.
