Need advise on splitting an OEM Cam Chain or where to get a Cam Chain w Master Link
 

Hi,

I've just ordered a new cam chain / tensioner etc for my 95 CBR1000F. I need to do the head gasket so will replace the chain during the process.

My question is: I'm too lazy to open the case in order to replace the cam chain with the OEM one I've ordered.

1. Is it possible to break the continuous chain I've purchased and if it is, where can I get a master link for it.
2. Can anyone recomend a place that I can purchase a chain with master link?

Thanks in advance :icon_razz:

DID make a camchain with a link. Check the net or I'll get one for you - about $100 + Paypal fees.

I KNEW I saved these links for a reason

Master Link

Found a master link and will give it a go
 

Thanks for the responses.

I'd seen the after market chain sites previously and will use them if all else fails.

Found a supplier on ebay : http://stores.ebay.com/TAS-Classic-MotorSports

I sent them a message asking if their links will work with OEM chains. They assured me that they would so I'm going to give it a go. Worse case scenario is that it won't fit and I'll have to order another chain with master link.

I've also purchased a set of fork & dust seals off them. Very reasonably priced.

Well I learn new stuff every day..................:icon_shrug:

I wonder if anyone makes a masterlink for the primary chain..................................?

Maybe those links should be listed in the how to section. I would hate to lose them. I'm about ready for a CCT myself (again) and was thinking about doing the chain as well. That link would surly be an asset.

Already copied into the alternative parts section...........
I ain't just an ugly face ya know.....:)

4 sure ..... I think LOL.............. and a great suggestion Tim

Yeah! I here there are many other ugly parts but, you have a kind heart.

Yea thanks for the info. I am going to order them and get it done over the winter.
