【DAYTONA】Chain Alignment Tool Review
Great for Better Alignment
he alignment marks on my swing arm aren't even close to setting my wheel in alignment with my sprocket and chain. Pretty simple tool for more piece of mind when doing chain adjustments. Works well on my bikes. I put the tool on just to see if my current alignment was good. It is, but the tool confirmed my suspicion that the alignment marks on my swing arm are not stamped symmetrically. I eyeballed it prior to purchasing this tool. If you have calibrated eyesight, an alignment tool isn?t really necessary. But, this is an affordable and useful little device to make the job a tad easier. Would be better if the metal rod was longer.This tool is essential to minimize chain, sprocket wear, and noise. It is kind of a pain to use as you need to remove the chain card to enable setting this up. But once done, my ride is much quieter.If you have deep pockets, I imagine the laser alignment tools would be the way to go.Fast shipping as always too.It comes in a big box, I don't think it's necessary. I want economical shipping.That's why shipping is expensive and subject to extra inspection at customs.

Swing Arm scale is for reference only
As the title says, the scale on the Swing Arm is for reference only.
I was looking at Motorcycle from behind and noticed that the teeth of Sprocket were somehow closer to the body side of Chain.
Quantity in the Swing Arm scale:Pair (for Left and Right) The position of Chain and Sprocket is not good, even though they are in the same position.
The Chain Alignment Tool was used to straighten the Chain, and the alignment between the Chain and the Sprocket was perfectly aligned, and as a byproduct, the Swing Arm scale was set to "Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) We found that there was a Gap of about 2-3mm in the
If the alignment of the Chain is not correct, it can cause uneven wear of the Tire and damage to the Sprocket and Chain.
This is a Tool of Recommendation for those who are interested in getting ChainAlignment right!

It is good to be able to do AlignmentCheck of Chain easily!
I used to check the alignment of a chain with a water thread, but I was too large, so I bought this one, which seems to be easy to check.
The product is applied to the Sprocket, and as long as the direction of the stick coming out of the Sprocket and the direction in which the Chain is running are parallel, the product is OK.
Screws to fix this to the Sprocket are also Material:Plastic has been taken care of so that Sprocket will not be damaged.
If I had my way, it would be even easier to see if it had a longer bar.

It's a source of reassurance.
The scale position of the chain adjuster is a collection of manufacturing errors of some parts, so I was not sure if I could trust it completely. I even tried to put water thread on the front and rear wheels, but in the end I couldn't figure it out. This method is also unreliable since the rear wheel is offset from the centerline in some models (such as ZrX1200). With this tool, I can at least align the front and rear Sprockets reasonably well. The chain adjustment, which I had always been bothered by, is now done. That's it!" I feel that it has become a stronghold for me. View detail
Thank you.
Over 40 years, the time I adjusted various Chain from 50cc to 1000cc was Large strange, I'm not nervous, but it took me about 30 minutes at the earliest.
Using the DAYTONAChainAlignment, I was able to make the adjustments right away, and now I only have to manage the shaft tightening torque.
I really should have purchased it sooner.
I think it would be better if there were spare parts.
