I was also looking for this thumb screw for the idle on the side for my TT250. It'd be nice to just tweak that during cold start ups and then turn it back down once it's warmed up. I've seen threads...

Wish I could find that guy that chuffed at me and said "pshh, you'll be lucky if you can hit 3k on a China bike before you're stranded on the road bro". Knocking on wood.

The guy I saw used an old link that was cut off to press against the side of the new master link, then a regular clamp to squeeze it down carefully.

How do I figure out how many links to leave in the new chain with the new sprocket tooth count? I got the D.I.D. 428 VX X-Ring chain, a 17T front, and a 45T for the rear.

Done. Ordered the CSC sprockets and the DID x-ring from Rocky Mountain (someone actually listed a 2021 TT250 in the reviews and said it works, so good enough for me!). Hooray for safety upgrades.

new chain for TT250
