Do you have to get a new chain when adding a +2 swing arm? Or do you just add links?

 

Yes. I'm almost positive you can't add links to a quad chain. Examine your sprockets as well. If they appear to have elongated, worn out slots between the teeth, or the teeth are rounding, then you need new ones. You may also want to consider a gearing change with the extension.

 

It's kind of up to you. What condition is your current chain in? If it's in primo shape just add a few links and be done with it.

 

The chain and sprockets are new. 12 front, 42 rear. Its a DID X-ring. I put it on a couple months ago. It seems to be geared just right.

Where can I buy just 6 links? All I can find is full chains. I will have two master links now, right?

A new chain is only like $55. I just hate to waste a perfectly good chain.

 

The master link is the weakest part of the chain unless you use one that is staked together. Adding another master link to the equation is not worth the risk, Craycraft Racing can get you a good chain for a lot less than $55.

 

bump, just get a new chain.

 

How many extra links for a +2?

 

stock is 92 links, and with my +4 i ordered 110 link and i get to size, i think i had 4 links left...

 

Sounds about right. I ordered a 98 linker. .625" per link.
