I'm going to be buying a new chain and sprocket kit for my bike but i don't have a chain tool, do you think the new chain will come with a master link so i can just clip it together?

Here is the kit I'm going to buy

Thanks guys

It won't, most likely, but there's no need for special tools. Hammer and an punch (piece of metal you use to mark holes for drilling into metal), should do the trick, did for me many times. Thumbs Up

By punch, I mean this (you're gonna use the center/prick/starting punch. One of those.):

By the way, I also had a chance to use this:
https://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/catalog/EK_Chain_screw_link_detail_1_600.jpg

You put it in the chain, and use those black screws (spanner), as far as it lets you, then take the screws off and brake the redundant rods (pliers) and put the rubber rings onto it. It's very cheap and very easy/quick to work with. I paid around 4 to 5 pounds for it. The screws will basically do, what you would have done with the punch and hammer. Thumbs Up

Can you please post a link for that link (pun intended). I used to carry a spare split link with me, but used it on someone else's chain a while ago, and could do with a new one.

A mate of mine ordered a DID chain and sprocket set, and it turned out to be an endless type, so he bought it to me to fit.

We did it between us by undoing the swing arm, and off with the old, on with the new! Probably took no longer than the breaking and riveting method.

Give M&P a ring on Monday and check before you order - they do split link chains too.

It's called: EK chain screw type master link

If you google it, you can find it in your local shop. Thumbs Up

EDIT: It seems to be around 16 USD, well I remember it being cheaper. Anyway, it is great and very easy to fit. Thumbs Up

Here's where I got the picture from: https://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=16084
