    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. 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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

dose it have a master link. i dont have the new one or have looked at the old one but the pics iv seen dont show a master link. my chain is slapping around and the tentioner appears to be good.
im going to order one if i can just hook it to the old chain to get it around the crank but if i gotta split the case its bing junked.
thanks
 
When I rebuit the top end of my 850, I replaced the cam chain. I borrowed my buddy's chain rivet tool. I used it to "break" the old chain and the new chain in two. I pushed the pin from the new chain through the roller of the old chain and used the rivet tool to put it nearly all the way through. I then turned the engine by hand to run the new chain around the crank. I popped the pin back out of the old roller, rejoined the ends of the new chain, pushed the pin through all the way, and repeened the pin in three different positions to ensure it was fastened properly. I have over 10,000 miles on the rebuild and have not had any issues with the new chain. I would recommend this if you have access to a rivet tool, or don't mind investing in one.
 
thanks
