If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi all just got new 630 oring chain n sprockets for my 1980 gsx 750. That's me run out of funds,cant afford a rivet tool,no one around with one,so was going to get a clip.i know closed end has to be in wheel rotation direction,is there any way once its on it can be strengthened,a small spot weld to make sure it doesn't come off?!and can you tell me where the 4 little rubber orings are meant to sit?? First chain n sprockets change! Thanks ��
 
Some people will dab some RTV or set some safety wire on their clips to make sure they don't go anywhere.

The O-rings should go between the inner and outer plates. So put two on the master first, then two after pushing the master through but before putting on the outer plate. They should have included some grease to grease up the master pins before installation.
 
Thanks for quick reply.may just put on clip,then can drive to somewhere to get rivet done properly! Big help cheers
 
Ive used a vise grip to gently put it into and hold it in place, then used a center punch while the rivet was on the rear sprocket area to flair the rivet head. Worked fine.
 
Safety wire rtv cemetery punch do all you don't want it to come off
 
Thankyou all,am going to use till get to friend with the right tool,not sure enough to attemt. Cheers for all the replies ��
 
No need for a special tool. Use two hammers - set one behind the chain as an anvil and use the smaller one to flatten over the soft rivet head of the perma-link. There's a knack to it, but it works fine.
 
Or make a tool using an old junky pair of vice grips. weld a bead on one side of the jaws and fashoin it to suit the peen and squeeze it down..reset the jaws a few times and progressively peen the rivet to hold the link together.

Same principle applies to using a C clamp. Weld a bead up and fashion it into a peening tool
