Grumpy old man 4,673 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Hi All What's you take on this http://www.tru-tension.co.uk/product/laser-monkey-motorcycle/ Do you think it could be used under the sprocket on the bottom run of the chain because the chain guard prevents it being use on the top. Cheers Lloyd 1 1 Link to post
wingrider.steve 954 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) I've got one, it is really useful and yes you can use it on the lower run of the chain. Edited June 17, 2018 by wingrider.steve 2 Link to post
ken218 28 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Got one and like it a lot, but somehow wonder if it is too extreme... it is possible to use it on the lower run of the chain, provided you are willing to bend your head so much that it is almost touching the ground, or if you lift the bike up. to me it was easier to just remove the chain guard. one annoyance - the bolt is reverse threaded...

ken218 28 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 when I turn it clockwise, it loosens... Link to post
wingrider.steve 954 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Well mine definitely does not! The bolt on mine works the normal way, clockwise to tighten and yes I have just checked it, again!! Link to post

kayz1 2,928 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Now if it was made from tool steel it may have been of interest to me, but plastic for a measuring instrument ( and cheap Orange plastic at that ) no thanks my eye sight has not yet gone that bad.. Link to post
Slowboy 20,415 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Someone bought me a chain monkey, and I've just used it when fitting a new C&S set to the CRF. As it's made of plastic, sadly it will not perform as a decent paperweight and I'm not sure therefore when it will come in handy again. It has been added to the "seemed like a good idea at the time" pile. At least you can eat a chocolate tea-pot........ 1 4 Link to post
baben 11,703 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Main thing to remember when using the chain monkey (or spanking the monkey as mechanics say) is to remove the rubber cover from the top of the bolt. Took me a while to work this out. Link to post
