    O - Ring chain for APACHE 150

    hi guys, i own an apache 150 which has run 39k kms. Now its high time that i should change my chain and sprocket.

    Is it possible to fit an O ring chain and sprocket kit from the rtr 180 or should i go for the stock set. The stock set is costing me around Rs 980. The RTR 160 ones is for around Rs 750. I dont know the price for the O ring set.

    I know that the swingarm length of the old apache 150 and the RTR series is different.

    Kindly advice me which one to go for as it is urgent and my chain and sprocket set is about to die.

    regards

    aditya

        Just a question, how different is the O-Ring sprocks from the regular ones? I'm under the impression that the sprockets are the same & only the chain differs from the regular & O-Ring one. Correct me, if my understanding is not right.

            AFAIK There is NO such thing as a O-ring sprocket.. The sprockets are the same.. the pitch may be different.

              If the sprockets are the same, then it shouldn't matter between a regular & O Ring chain.

              @Addyrulz - You may want to open up the side case & post a pic here as how the sprocks look like.

                      But buddy wont the chain length matter as the length of the swingarm of the RTR series is longer than my APACHE 150's chain

                        Well the sprockets are looking regular ones, so O ring will be a straight fit.

                        I thought you'd a P150, sry about that.

                        If you're planning to do it on your own, then take the vehicle to nearest spare parts shop & take their help, otherwise leave it to the mechanic & they'll take care.

                        Incase, the chain length is more, you need to cut the additional links, if not, then do not take the risk.

                          Go for RTR 160's O ring chain and spocket.. It will definitly fit ur bike, u need to remove few chain blocks.. thats all.. Any thing is possible man.. go ahead.. I have even mixed two RTR O ring chains to fit in my apache 150 which was running in ZMA swingarm.. As there is no chain of that length avilable in the market at that time excluding ZMA's chain(but ZMA chain and spocket won't fit in apache as blocks are bigger).

                            well yes, i have a mechanic for my bike itself. i will tell him to do the job further.

                            Last thing, do you have an idea of the price of o ring chain and sprocket kit of the APACHE RTR 180 ?? I guess the O ring set only comes in the RTR 180 but i am not sure
