Re: New Fangled Chain Link
I have a Kellermann chain rivetter/remover. It's a quality tool (totally O/T, but if you like prog rock and quality, check out the band Tool, it's all good but I really like the track Forty Six and Two) but the torque values for for deforming the ends are way out. I contacted them and they said it depends on the chain brand. You have to experiment a bit and go through a couple of links.
For a 'Busa, I would take it to a mechanic of known quality, or a franchised Suzuki shop. You don't want that fucker letting go at 180 MPH (best I managed on a 'Busa, M11, clear of traffic on a weekday, about 175MPH indicated).

Re: New Fangled Chain Link
I forgot to say, the GSX1300R is my favourite bike. If I wasn't so weak now, I would have another one.

Re: New Fangled Chain Link
Thanks for the photo, that is so nice. Love that blue colour, think I may respray the Buell in that.
My rides were on the original GSX1300R, so the later ones (esp the newest one) are probably even better.

Re: New Fangled Chain Link
Interesting, haven't seen those before. If I didn't have a rivet tool I'd probably use it.
I did find a couple of Youtube vids for installation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qu1kUklfec or
https://youtu.be/wLOHDu-IdKg
or this has some pictures https://www.louis-moto.co.uk/en/enuma-m ... h-60903950
You can Google screw type master link to find more info.
I can't see them being different from a Rivet really, as they are both just burring over the end part. Possibly the screw type, using a short spanner is possibly slightly better at not doing over tight.

Re: New Fangled Chain Link
I have used one a very long time ago on my kat. Had no problems with it coming undone. They would not supply them with the chain if they didn't work

I like your confidence in the skills of your fellow man (or woman). Having worked in the bike trade for a long time, I am not so sure.
