special crf narrow chain??

[begazzz]

Hi people,

I bought a Renthal chain and sprocket kit and after 200 miles with 4 proper chain off cleans and maintenance one half of the split link broke and chewed up the sprocket so time for replacement.

I dont want a renthal again as they are made of cheese so think im gonna go for steel as 5 kilos of mud will put pay to any bling light weight kit.

after reading up you are supposed to use a £100 narrow chain for the crf to prevent it hitting expensive bits but has anyone else done this or just stick with std chains????

They rub the crankcase that's why you need a narrow one.
Running sprocket backward spaces it out enough to clear.
A t ring chain is recommended if I remember. Best to get one

that seems like a bit of an oddball thing to do for such a maintream company..... any advice on where to buy from that might be cheaper than honda

DID make them. So from them.
Il have a look for part number later

Just bought a std did o ring and it dose not rub but if it did would just need a 2mm washer behind the front sprocket Fastway Countershaft Spacer: CRFs Only - Your Source For Honda CRF Parts, Accessories and Information... hope that helps
