Urgent help required - Agadir
 

We are stuck in Agadir with a cracked chain on an Aprilia Pegaso 650 with a yamaha engine and unable to find any help to replace the chain. It has already caused damage to the engine casing but this is being managed. Does anyone know of any localish places to get a new chain as the existing one is irreperable.

Any help would be really appreciated, thanks

Hey,

I snapped the chain on my XT (same engine as the Aprilia I think) in Turkey and found that the little Yamaha/Honda 125s (common in the third world) use chains of the same link length (525?) although they are obviously a lot thinner and not as strong. However, one of these chains got me from Eastern Turkey to Istanbul. If you do use one of these little chains, go easy, and rivet it together, do not use a split link.

Mats answer makes sense.... i did the same in India. Once bodged you will probably need to head up to Cassablanca or Rabat where i am sure you could get a propper replacement for it.
Good luck
