    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have a 78 gs 550 it came with a cut chain, and i ordered a new one which is a continous link. anyone know of where i can get a master link or a chain splitter to take it apart and relink it? i relly dont want to have to take the whole motor apart to put this in. and how do you messuer what size links it is. i found one splitter that says its ranges from 25-250?
 
masterlink

masterlink

ok where would i get a master link? the dealer says they dont have them?
 
The dealer doesn't have them because THEY DON'T COME THAT WAY! The only way to do it CORRECTLY is to split the cases & replace the chain the RIGHT way! Enough said, Ray.
 
u can get a rivet tool if it isn't a expensive bike but rapidray is right do a search on here fore rivet tool or cam chain and youll find the link and how to do it
 
C'mon Ray. It's a 550.
But your right. I couldn't find crap on a cam chain with a masterlink.
 
In San Diego, in 1980, I had one BAD A$$ 550 Suzuki & it did NOT have a split cam chain! I used to go hunting 750s with it because I had milled the head, ported it, did a good valve job, bored it 2 mil over, & had the carbs bored 2 mil. I also took 50 lbs off the bike & I only weighed 150 pounds then. That little bike ran 12.00s at Carlsbad! Tried & tried but couldn't get an 11.99 out of it. Made a fair sum with it street racing 750s till it got stolen! Do the cam chain correctly so you will save yourself a ton of grief & not have to worry about it separating. Ray.
