Garage Night Episode 7: Changing a chain and sprockets - watch now!

We have put out another episode of our web video show about working on
bikes.

Trent and Pete are back from Mountain Madness in the Spanish Pyrenees
and Pete's KTM needs a new chain and sprockets (it even spat out some
rollers - nasty!).

Watch here: http://www.garagenight.tv/?p=14

All the best,

What the hell are chains and sprockets?

Was that Brother of Burnt that passed that way then?

 

IIRC a tiny little chain helped open the throttles on the /6 models.
Hence the favourite m/c club night quiz question of the era - how many
chains on a BMW?

They only need one chain attached to them, the other end can be
tethered to a boat to keep it from being swept away.

 

Nicely done, guys.

 

Chains not strong ehough, eh?

What! You've never seen a BMW Trailie on one wheel?
They're not fast but they're quick. Don't you have capable riders in your
neck of the woods?
