Chain Link size?
 

Can't find the chain link size on the original chain - does anyone know what the size is for a spare link?

520

Ta,

I also looking for a spare link. Please could you post the site if you order one

Make sure you get the same one as the chain manufacturer ,different marques use different diameter pins so might not fit

Very much this, and also don't be tempted to fit a split pin fishplate. The rollers will shred it.

A what??

Can anyone recommend a site where I can get a brief education in bike chains? It's something I don't have any knowledge of but really need to learn.

There are so many variations of chains now x-ring ,o-ring z-ring ,with loads of different manufacturers ,it comes down to personal choice and what others with the same bike recommend ,just dont go for the cheap option as they stretch very quickly and are prone to snapping and damaging the engine cases .Where possible always fit a soft link if you can but carry a spare split link just incase

Sooooo, is the stock Tenere a 520 O-ring chain ??

So is this what I need to fix my chain if a link broke ?

Thats the type ,not sure what make the original chain is on the Tenere though ,you must get the one that matches .ie: D.I.D ,Regina or similar

See the fishplate at the bottom? Fine as a get you home, but don't leave it on there permanently on the Ten as the rollers will cause it to fail. Split pin is probably the wrong term but sometimes my head takes a dump and I can't remember the exact one.

Here clicky is a bit of info on chains, and here is a bit more technical info explaining the sizes clicky

I may of missed it but can't see what the original tenere brand is and what link needs to ordered?

Nice one, cheers :)

The bog standard 520 link from Wemoto does the trick. The DID x/o ring is not the right size for the OE chain.

hi mike, the original chain on my 09 tenere was a regina[name on the sideplates], i don't believe it was a very high spec one as it even with the scottoiler it wore out very quickly

Thanks for the info much appreciated. Mine is starting to wear as well and its only done 8k
