 Posted: Sat Sep 04, 2010 9:41 pm Post subject: Sprocket/chain guards |
  |
|
| Trying to decide between a traditional plate guard for chain and disc or one of these new dual spocket guards from Blingstar. Just want to stop the chain from derailing and for some impact protection. I have not used either yet. Anyone got some tips? |

What sort of quad do you ride?
For my Can Am I use a chain guide and a shark fin to protect my disc, and i also have a sprocket protecter to bolt tot he sprocket hub for really rocky conditions. These products are available from BCS performance in the states for certain bikes.
It is really personal preference and depends on what sort of riding you are doing. |

Firstly, thanks for the advice mate.
Currently racing an 06 YFZ450, QRCV MX at Tolleen Vic and One (so far) enduro. Just concerned about chain de-railment and damage to the sprocket during the enduro's. MX not so much potential for rut guided chain damage. Thinking either one piece to cover both disc and sprocket or the dual sprocket bolt-on and fin as you use. What did you pay for yours? |

you could always do both Keeh, a normal swingarm skid plate will suffice for most conditions and give you better disc protection, but the dual sprocket guards will give you better ground clearance.
