80cc engine chain.

[Leighton]

Hi,
Does anyone know what size chain comes with the 80cc engine kits. It is definitely bigger/fatter than the regular bike chain, but I'm sure I have read that you can use a regular chain with a bit of modding...

I'd rather get the fatter type chain so it fits straight on without any messing about.

Thanks in advance

The drive chain is 415 chain, there wasn't one in the kit?

Ahh perfect. I was looking at 415 chains but didn't want to buy without knowing for sure. Na it snapped today on way home, I lost the half link and one normal link. Think I'll just buy a whole new one now and be done with it.
Thanks sir!

If you use a half link, rivet it in place. Don't use the little cotter key, those always fail.

Check your wheel sprocket. Make sure its all straight. When I first got my bike built, I kept going through chains and found out that the sprocket was bent. After that was fixed I could go over pot holes at high speeds and never broke any more chains. I mean don't try to hit the potholes, but you know what I mean.
