Changinf chain and sprockets

Phenix_Rider · 01-18-2009, 05:55 PM

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.

You still have pulleys (sprockets) to change.

I don't think the pulleys are going to wear out.

I know the belt has a lifetime warranty... not too worried about the pulleys.

I'm just talking about the act of changing that shit. Sucky. I'll worry about those pulleys when and if that comes up.
