I need help finding chain for a 49cc 2 stroke pit bike.

I checked the parts links posted here but I couldn't tell what size chain it was.

It uses a bf05t which is a 8mm pitch roller chain.

I found some on ebay but it would cost almost $30.00 (actually thats more than I paid for the bike).

The few places I found online always said "not in stock".

Anyone know of a place with resonable prices that actuaaly have some in stock?

46 links for $9.95 plus $4.95 for shipping is not too bad on this ebay listing.

Thanks for the link, I have seen that listing on ebay.

Since I would need over 60 links I would have to double the order, plus they don't include a master link.

Still looking but that may be my only option.

What strange chain to use...It seems that size/type of chain is what lots of bikes use for a cam chain drive. They often have no spring links on them, either one piece or a riveting soft link.

This place has 88 links for $31, but no mention of joining link:

Looks like parts for scooters is the best option, still $30.00 with shipping, but it comes with a master and offset link.

I'll get one on order.

It goes to an older 49cc 2 stroke little dirt bike, I got from a guy a work for $30.00 all it needed was a carb cleaning and chain. the plastic is in bad shape but that doesn't stop it from running.

Thank you both for your help, saved me a lot of searching.
