How do i shorten my caglarri pocket bike chain?

Question

I got a new sprocket and was wondering how i can shorten my chain because i can't pull the rear axle far enough back without it falling off the bike.

Answer 1

Take the chain off..locate the master link, pull the clip and remove the master link. The next part is easier with a chain tool, but can be done in back yard fasion with a hammer and s***w driver, you are going to take a link out. Its pretty simple actually, just drive the s***w driver between the link until the outsides pop, pull that link out and put it back together with the master link.

If the chain doesn't have a master link, you will have to go buy one, then pick any link and seperate it in the same fashion...remove two links, and put the chain back together using the master link.

You can buy a chain tool reasonably cheap... it just pushes the pin out and removes the link, its a little cleaner than a hammer and s***w driver, but either wat works just fine.

(Note, finding the master link is easy, it looks different than the other links)
