Changinf chain and sprockets

If its anyting like the 10r, use a slightly bigger socket to pound the washer away from the nut. Inspect and use a punch and hammer to do the same, it looks like its flat enough but its not, its a kawi thing.

Finally got the motherfucker loose. Had to go out and buy a 625 ft-lb impact, beat the snot out of the washer, and use a heat gun. After all that, it still took reversing the impact several times, then when it finally broke loose, the nut came flying off and skittered across the floor. The sprocket itself came off the shaft with two fingers.

Whatever prick put the thing on didn't know how to use a torque wrench. That was no 92 ft-lbs.

Damnit. Apparently all 520 chains are not alike. The stock rivet master link I got at the dealer doesn't fit the new RK chain. So I had to put the stupid clip master in that the chain came with. Now I have to order an RK rivet master. Other than that, no (more) problems to report. it's ridable.

Don't forget to safety wire the clip master link, I have had them come apart. How did you compress the plate on the link before you installed the clip?

Yeah and I suggest you order 2 replacement links.. just in case you screw up the first one. Plus if you don't, you'll have a spare anyway.

I won't be using the clip link AT ALL. I've heard way too much to trust it. I've only found the rivet master at chaparral, and it looks like I'm going to get ripped on shipping for a $6 part.
