Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This chain roller guide is designed for pitbikes and dirtbikes utilizing 420 or 428 chain sizes. It features an 8mm roller diameter. Ensure your bike's swingarm and mounting points can accommodate the overall length of 35 mm (1.38 inches) and the maximum outer diameter of 36 mm (1.42 inches).
Setup: Installation typically involves mounting the roller guide to the swingarm in a position that effectively supports the lower run of the chain, usually near the rear sprocket. Consult your specific dirtbike's service manual for recommended mounting locations and procedures. Ensure all mounting hardware is securely tightened.
Care: Regularly inspect the roller and its bearing for wear, dirt, or damage. Clean the roller periodically with a damp cloth to remove mud and debris. Lubricate the bearing sparingly if recommended by the manufacturer, using a suitable grease. Check for any signs of excessive play or stiffness in the roller, which may indicate the need for replacement.
