Chain Rivet Links - Help

[numark1]

Just got my nice new gold chain but its a rivet link.

Can't find that tool anywhere (have to order it plus its like £50)

Nowhere does split links either so my bikes in the garage costing me £5 a day to insure and i can't ride it.

Any way you can do it without a tool???

Go to a bike shop and ask for a split link, l had to get one from blayes of twickenham for my ZZR600 when l changed the chain.

Never use split links on a big bike!
They are a weak link and if they go the chances are they will take the side of the engine off and rip your leg to peices. Seen it happen on a Bandit (the engine bit not the leg) he put a split link in as a 'get home fix'. Turned out to be an expensive bodge.

If its a full rivited chain its been done for a reason.

On my zx6r and zzr i have had split links and my gsxr400. I rag the fuck out of them and they have never snapped. Well apart from the zzr hence the new chain.

That was just an old chain anyway which snapped at a different link.
