Clips were fine when bikes only made 30hp. I use the Motion Pro Jumbo, which breaks chain, presses on the link, and rivets or peens the ends. Even if you only use it once, it will pay for itself. But you can also do cam chain and your friend's chains.

 

Well I think I will suck it up and buy a good tool set. I would just be more comfortable with it. Any good brands/kits out there recomended?

 

get the DID chain breaker/rivet tool...it's cheap, durable and won't break the bank.

 

I'll look into them. Thanks

 

I dont know about spending 120 bucks on a tool that only works on DID chains, and only the 1 link. Is it easier to use that a regular kit or something? I found a few kits for around 100 bucks, but those can be used on any chain.

 

im pretty sure the DID chain cut/rivet tool will work with almost all motorcycle chains.

here is one for $58 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chain...spagenameZWDVW

 

It'll work on all chains. Usually 420 up to 630 and some have attachments to do cam chains also. DID is just the brand ... Motion Pro also makes them.

 

I looked on numerous sites and it says only use on 1 certian type of D.I.D. cahin links. Is that false advertisement, or am I really just reading to far into it?

 

where you looking?
