So I went ahead and ordered my AFAM sprockets and my chain, and my sprockets came in this morning and according to tracking my chain should be here tonight. I NEED to have all of this stuff changed by next saturday and im gonna be working in Melbourne all week, so I have to do it this weekend. Does anyone have a chain breaker that I could borrow to pop the stock chain off, and what tool will I need to put the new chain on?

 

is it a masterlink or rivet type chain? if its masterlink u dont need one...to pop the old one of use a grinder..

 

I thought you still needed the chain tool even if it was a master link?

Im pretty sure the chain is a rivet chain, but dont hold me to that.

 

your new chain??? if your new chain is master link u dont need a tool..your old one will be a rivet type and just use a grinder to shave off the 2 heads and get a punch then pop them out...

 

Idk, I could have sworn that the confirmation with all the product info said rivet.

 

Nevermind, it is a masterlink. Heres the info on the chain I bought. The brand is EK.
