Lifan LF250GY (supermoto) Chain
 
Hi, I have bought a Lifan LF250GY - the supermoto looking one, and the chain is really really loose, I have no idea where I could find a replacement one. Also, is it possible to just take out a link or two so I dont have to buy a whole new chain?
Any help appreciated!
:thanks:


Edit: Apparently its tension is already at max, so thats not an option

Read carefully the type (428/520/530) stamped on chain/ sprockets... otherwise measures it... http://www.dansmc.com/ek_chain_specs.jpg http://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/28...2849544019.jpg
Once u knew the type, counts how many links
U can find it w/ type & links on hand (From local powersport shop or online )...

Sprocket may also unusable. Typical chonda http://www.chinariders.net/showthrea...559#post184559 . Compare w/ drawings from http://www.jtsprockets.com/catalogue is the ONLY way to prove works or NOT...

I bought a crude-looking, but effective chain breaker tool at Harbor Freight which worked well taking off a few links. It was around $15, which seemed a little high. The other alternative is to have a repair shop do it for you, which I have also done. One shop didn't even charge me on two different occasions (I had a custom-made aftermarket sprocket which ate through a few chains a few years ago, hence the multiple chains).

Online, they show two, but the handheld one I have is listed at $15, although I bought mine in store:

Thank you @humanbeing & @culcune,

I have found a spare chain that seems to fit on the sprocket perfect, and i'll just need to take some links out. I was looking at getting a chain breaker tool, but I have the tools just to grind pins off, so im going to try that. Hopefully it works well
