Review on πŸ”§ Improve Precision with Motion Pro 08-0048 Chain Alignment Tool: A Must-Have for Perfect Motorcycle Chain Alignment by Mark Hamblin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

By no means perfect, but still very useful.

I saw it on Youtube. Literally a few days after I performed my first service routine on my new Yamaha FZ-07 which included adjusting the drive chain tension. I looked as far as I could from the wheel indicators to the pivot lever marks. Received this, ripped open the packaging and was amazed at the build quality of this thing! Housing made of anodized aluminum! I thought it was plastic. As I got closer to the bike, I quickly realized why so many are complaining about the long rod this tool uses - it really clings to the bike's chainguard. I ended up having to remove the stem, attach the tool body to the bike chain, and then insert the stem into the tool body. Luckily I did a good job evaluating the center marks on my bike's wheel hub and swingarm, the tool shank was centered on the chain! It was good consolation though and if I need to adjust the chain at next spring's review I'll have this in my tool arsenal to help!
