Motion Pro 08-0048 Chain Alignment Tool

Simple tool which made this job even easier. Use this for checking only and due to the value for money its a good little tool.

Great little tool works really well on my ZH2 but well overpriced if I’m honest.

Did what it says on the box

Handy little tool...simple to use and makes it easy to get the chain and rear wheel in line...

Easy to use and accurate

The tool was easy to assemble, just the clamp, the rod and a plastic knurled screw.Easy enough to fit to the rear drive sprocket of the motorbike, with the (fairly short) rod facing towards the front drive sprocket.I removed the rear mounting screw from the chain guard and lifted up the chain guard, to enable me to see along the chain from there rear towards the front.I used a torch, to make it easier to see in the garage.I made sure to use only one eye as I looked along the rod.I angled the rod up a bit, to make the end of it appear closer to the from of the chain.It wasn't really possible to be sure of perfect alignment. The merest movement of your head, as you crouch/squat/sit in position, can alter your view along the rod and chain.Anyway, it looked like it was pretty close to alignment, but I loosened the axle bolt and turned the chain adjuster one flat on one side.There is a more expensive version of this that uses a laser to shine along the chain. I had watched a YouTube video of it and it looked quite flimsy and similarly difficult to be sure of perfect alignment, which was why I went for this simpler design.I don't think I can really recommend it, although I'll try and use it again on my other bike, which is belt drive, when I get around to it.
