Motion Pro 08-0048 Chain Alignment Tool

Build quality is good. It is straight and appears it would take a lot to bend it. Value for the money is great. Works on a Kawasaki Ninja 650, imagine it would work on any chain drive motorcycle. Easy to use.

Works good for my dirt bike chain

My bike's chain is starting to reach the end of its life. I'm trying to keep it going through the rest of this riding season by lubricating it frequently (every 3-500 miles, which for me is once or twice a month) and by cleaning it thoroughly every couple of thousand miles. On my bike, removing and reinstalling the chain is pretty easy, and I've gotten good at it. Aligning the chain is the most time-consuming part. Last time I did it by eye and got it fairly close, but I wanted something that would be quicker and more precise than my uncalibrated eyeball. There are a lot of knockoff versions of this tool floating around, but I've always had good luck with genuine Motion Pro stuff so I paid an extra couple of bucks (literally-- this tool is about $5 more expensive than the knockoff). In short, it works. The length of the rod makes it easy to dial in the alignment with good precision. I only knocked a star off because the tool is just barely wide enough to fit over my bike's sprocket (which has a chain guide riveted onto it). The only orientation that works on my sprocket is with the alignment bar on the inboard side of the chain, which makes it more difficult to get a top-down view of the alignment. I eventually got it but it took some messing around the first time. Next time I'm sure it will be much quicker. So I removed my chain, cleaned it (and scrubbed about a ton of road grime and grit off it), soaked it in gear oil, and let it drip overnight. The next day I installed it and used the alignment tool to get it dead-nuts. Good enough for my old bike, and I'll probably be able to finish the season with this tired chain.

Easy to use and very helpful to verify your rear wheel/chain alignment

Super simple to use!

This product is a fantastic find! It's reasonably priced, making it accessible for most budgets without compromising on quality. The product is exactly as described, and its usefulness cannot be overstated. I've found it to be incredibly practical and efficient in meeting my needs. The attention to detail is impressive, and the performance is on par with more expensive alternatives. If you're looking for something reliable, well-made, and at a fair price point, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Pretty good product

The Motion Pro wheel alignment tool works well enough and helps to visualize the wheel alignment across the top of the chain but I'm not sure it made the job faster because I had to remove the plastic chain guard to see the chain and alignment tool. It's faster and not much more difficult to measure the gaps in front of the axle on both swing arms and then double check the alignment with a stick resting on the swing arm and nearly touching the outer side of the rim as the wheel is spun to check the runout. I also lost the thumb screw that secures the stainless alignment rod the first time I used the tool. I replaced it with an 8 mm long M5 stainless button head cap screw. There is no need for me to have an easily lost thumb screw in this application. It was also six bucks cheaper two days after I bought it which always makes me feel bad so watch the price and wait to purchase if you don't like paying extra. That kinda makes me wish I'd bought the cheap knock off this time.

Etwas teurer aber sein Geld wert . Für jeden ambitionierten Hobby schrauber oder auch Profi sehr zu empfehlen

This tool works great to get perfect axle alignment for your chain driven motorcycle. Don’t trust the factory marks.
