so i did the 600rr swingarm conversion on my f4i today and the chain is to short now since the new swingarn in 2in longer. so im wondering if its ok to add another master link to my chain so it fits.

 

I would personally get a new chain and sprockets.

 

im going to im just tryin to think of a quick fix for a couple weeks since new chains are 150ish

 

Should be fine but I would suggest the rivet kind not the clip style.

 

2 inches longer... holy crap. I had no idea there was that much difference in them. That is gonna make a huge difference in how that bike handles. Should be able to put more power down without the front lifting though.

Be careful on first few corners until you know how its going to act. It will have slower turn in, but it should be more stable once your leaned over.

I agree with Tomp on this one, get a new chain right away. you dont want that chain breaking. All sorts of damage can happen. The main reason I would just buy a new one is, if your like me, you'll start out with just a temporary fix, then if the fix works, the temporary fix becomes permanant and you forget about it. your going to have a new link that will not be matched as the other links are worn and every time that link goes around, it will lift the other links off the sprockets a few thousands of an inch, causing all the stress to be on that one link. It may be fine, but I wouldnt risk it. A new chain and spocket set are definately in order.

 

yeah it will handle different i need to get her out and see where i need to set the 1000rr shock, anyone know of a online store that has chain and sprocket kits cheap????

 

sprocket center.com is pretty cheap. other then that its kneedraggers or something

 

i just got an x-ring chain off ebay for 115$ shipped.

 

yea . I think it will be alight with two master links. Just make sure its on there good with the tool.
