    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.

Has anyone bought a chain breaker for the large chains on bikes? Is there multiple sizes? I have a small one for bicycles so I know how they work.

I just got a project bike for a friend and I need to remove the chain to remove the engine. There is no master link!!!
 
They come in different sizes check with DennisKirk or other supplier and you can find different ones. If you need one for 630 chain they are harder to find ands fairly expensive.

You can remove the link by grinding or cutting the end off of a link with a dremel tool that then using a drift punch to remove the pin.

I purchased one of the smaller types of breakers a few years ago. It worked once & then busted!
Get a decent one or do like mdole says and grind off a rivet end.
 
I was talking to Phil at moto-heaven and he said to buy one but not to use it. Save it for an emergency because the pins break.

I also had a cheap one, it broke first time! I have a better one that breaks 630 chains like they are not there. If you definitely do not need to reuse the chain, use an angle grinder to grind off the rivet - none of this dremel stuff!
 
JC Whitney sells a Motion Pro chain breaker for 24.95 it will handle chains up to and including the big 630. Folds so you can even take it with you. Tip is easy to break tho' replacement is 3.79. www.jcwhitney.com I have one and it works vey well.
