spurdy Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 This is bad advice. Regardless of new or old bearings your chain can still snap or come off. Either way you should put a case saver on. I run a Regina chain with all new bearings and gears, but you bet your ass there is still a case saver on there just in case. 2nd that. case saver is cheap insurance. SP Quote

I run a Regina chain with all new bearings and gears, but you bet your ass there is still a case saver on there just in case. i didnt tell him not to get a case saver. i dont think its needed if you watch whats going on and i never had a chain snap for no reason other then neglect. i have my case saver for piece of mind and i also seen a case saver smash out the top of a case. i`m not sayin the chain wouldnt have but the saver did.

xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 start a poll retard. find out whats more common.. chain coming off from bad bearings or from something else. to tell someone that they dont need a case saver simply by making sure their bearings are good is ridiculous. post it up cock smoker.

regalrocket Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) that cant be true. are you sure it wasnt a stick? It did it EVERY time you did a doughnut to the right, on ice none the less (winter riding). As kids we used to flat track around the house for hours. We had to go clockwise because of the chain issue. If you went the other way, the swingarm would move enough to cause an alignment issue, and toss the chain. It tossed that chain daily until we put the new swingarm bearings in. You should have been there watching a 10 year old with a aluminum stick welding electrode trying to put a case back together that was in 4 pieces (DC reverse for those wondering). It worked, but looking back, it was a little far out of my league. Edited January 31, 2009 by regalrocket Quote

Ieat4strokes Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 bad bearings will toss a chain...... happened to me. slack in the carrier due to bad bearings will make chain loose enough to come off! especially if u ride like me! not saying this is more likely to happen more than another circumstance but it wll happen..... keep good bearings, oil the shit outta ya chain after every ride, get a case saver!!! cheap insurance! as long as hes not leaking oil throw some jb weld on it to keep shit out ya case and ride....

2slow350 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 From my experience, if a chain is going to come off and hit the cases and break something, the cases are going to break with or without a case saver. Only thing different is your going to have to pry the case saver out of the cases! Jmo Quote
250Rho Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 the case saver can only help. basicly any softer matereal sutch as plastic will help cousion the chain when it winds up on the front sproket and reduce the chanses of case crakedge=my thoughts Quote
