bonzai272 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 Im taking my newest toy out for its maiden voyage next weekend. I dont expect anything to happen this weekend but I def want to be getting this case saver soon to prevent any future issue is chain breaks or slaps. I couldnt find any installation instructions online. Is it pretty self explanitory? It just looks a bit more complicated than the other one. I assume the sprocket is removed so the saver can go behind it. Is that easy to do? Anything I should know before tackling this? Thanks guys. Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 take off the sprket take out the three bolts for the shift drum cover. I think thats what its called. Dont take it off. Put chain guard on and install new bolts. Put sproket back on and there you go. Quote
wacko2000 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 I installed my caes saver without taking off my sprocket... did seen to need to take it off..maybe Im wrong though Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 your probably right now that I think of it I bought a knock off lookalike for cheep off ebay and I changed a front sproket the same time. Quote
bonzai272 Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Posted November 2, 2007 The TM Desinworks one im talking about appears to be behind the sprocket, and over/around the shaft. Thats why I ass-u-me the sprocket needs to come off. Quote
jbooker82 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 Yep sprocket has to come off. Then just bolt it on. TM designworks is the best case saver out there. Quote
bonzai272 Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Posted November 2, 2007 These are probably dumb questions but, in removing the sprocket: How is that done? Does the bike need to be in gear so it doesnt just spin? Do I need to loosen the rear to put slack in the chain in order to get it off then back on again? How tight is that torqued back down? Thanks for all the help! Quote

Thanks for all the help! Easiest way is unbend the lock washer, hit that nut with an impact gun. Otherwise... Lock the rear brakes (have someone step on them) and put it in gear and use a long 1/2 inch breaker bar with a socket... Quote
bonzai272 Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Posted November 2, 2007 Thanks dajogejr. I think I can manage that. Quote
JdiZzla Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 Thanks dajogejr. I think I can manage that. I just did this a couple days ago and it is easy....If you use an impact wrench. just an fyi the sprocket bolt is 32mm and i was told to use some medium stregnth lock tite on those three bolts. Quote
dajogejr Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 I've been becoming more and more a fan of light strength blue loctite myself, especially on aluminum... Quote
wacko2000 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) I just ordered all T.M Design Chain rollers and slides, I wish I would have seen that case saver as well, I have a regular one that didnt require taking of the sprocket, but the t.m design one looks bad ass... They make quality stuff, like always said, you get what you pay for....... Edited November 2, 2007 by wacko2000 Quote
RIPRuck Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 I have that same case saver and it is a quality part. Should be installing it this weekend :biggrin: Quote
Animalman294 Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 I was going to get a saver and was considering the same one................ Quote
JdiZzla Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 I was going to get a saver and was considering the same one................ I have this saver and am really impressed, it goes on easy and it is made of a material that does not allow grease to stick to it. Mine is white and there is no grease on it at all. The TM design saver also protects more of the case, i think for the money it is a great mod, not as bling as the others but you cant see it behind the stator cas anyway Quote
