Re: hello from houston
i got this bike with a straight pipe its very loud at 60mph i can see every one trying to pass me because of the loud high rev of the pipe its annoying lol but i love it! the sprockets are pretty worn so i ordered new ones 16t and 41t rear and a new chain im expecting this to arrive soon ive been reading on the forum on how to do this myself its going to be a first time for me ive worked on my own car before changing brakes tune ups etc. this is a different animal is it a good idea to take this job on? im worried that i mess up installing the chain? i dont think ive seen a how to on the chain is there?

Re: hello from houston
Just have the chain around the rear sprocket before inserting the axle bolt. Pretty simple, really.

Re: hello from houston
Just make sure you have no parts left over when the job is done. A very good idea is to take pics of everything before starting the job. Primarily the positioning of the spacers on the rear axle.

Re: hello from houston
Be careful you don't make it too tight, usually the tightness/slack varies a bit as you turn the wheel.
Oh and welcome to the forum :2tup:
