Has anyone got one that I can borrow for like a day, or even help me do mine, as I am hoping to buy a new one today...

Plus I anit paying damerells or anyhwere like £80 just to fit my chain

Easy m8...

As far as I know...on 125's all chains have a clip to hold them on...(Least the new chains do!)

Allthough if you've still got the standard OEM chain on the Honda...then it will be a complete chain...

Best thing to do...is get a rivet push tool...to bush the pin out...or just cut the chain off (dremmel baby!)

Have a look along the chain...if you can't see any clip on it...time to get the cutters out...

Make sure the chain you buy is a clip type...otherwise you will need a chain riviter to put the new chain on! (And the tool ain't cheep...cost me like £55 for one!)

Hope that helps...lets hope I get no smart ass comments on this one! ;)

Really just to clarify what Furry's saying:
Use any old grinding attachment on an electric drill to grind the end off of one of the rivets on the old chain (they're very soft); then push the rivet out through the chain (the most awkward bit, but can normally be done without any special tools). The new chain will come with a split link, attach the new chain temporarily to the old and pull it around the front sproket; then discard the old chain and complete the new chain with the split link.

If you are desperate, I'm up in Widewell. PM me and I'll probably be able to help but I'm not the quckest at picking up my PMs!.

If you are fitting new chain with split link make sure you fit clip with the round part to direction of travel. Or with clip on rear sprocket round part facing up.

If it's got a clip on chain, why do you need a chain remover

I'm very technical when I remove chains with my special tool.

I tighten the chain, close my eyes & let the bugger rip...




























Yes it's an Angle Grinder

If in doubt, the angle grinder is the tool

wow old topic Lol

I have a chain splitter/rivetter you can borrow. To get the original chain off though...use an angle grinder.
