Not really! 😄 A motorcycle chain that is too long can easily be shortened when you have the correct tools and know how to do it properly. So in this video I also show you how I shorten the new DID chain from 118 to 110 links before fitting it to the bike. I take you through the chain replacement process in my usual practical, easy-to-follow way, including the important checks you should make while doing the job. 🔧 IN THIS VIDEO: • Removing the old chain • Comparing the old and new chains • Checking the required number of chain links • Shortening a DID 525 VX3 from 118 to 110 links • Preparing the new chain ⚠️ SAFETY Your motorcycle chain is a critical component.
