    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.

DID 630YL and DID 630V

I splashed out on a new chain and sprockets at an autojumble today - DID O ring chain, 630YL, and correct sprockets for a tenner - bargain. Fit on the 1100 a treat - original equipment sat on a shelf somewhere.

Only problem is that when I open the box there's no master link / split link / rivet link or whatever the terminology is in your part of the world. I've Googled to find out what is available and the only links I can find are for a DID 630V. Is this the replacement for the 630YL and will a 630V link fit the 630YL?

Incidentally I also spent ?10 on a bucket full of stainless nuts and bolts - all sizes, all new. Many happy hours ahead sorting that lot out.
 
Not sure how it is across the pond...but I'm not aware of any OEM 630 series chain that came with a master link...back in the day when manufacturers used 630 series chain they all were endless, as far as I know...liability concerns...and yes, 630V seems to be all there is to reference to anymore...you might just buy a 630V master link and try it for fitment...not sure how else (save measuring pins, sideplates, etc) to answer your question...most everyone I know is changing to 530 series chains and sprockets to save weight and have more chain options...best of luck!:)
 
just use some 40AMP fuse wire to join the chain lol.
seriously, i think any 630 master link should fit. end of the day 630 is the size of the chain so you buy a 630 master link, it should fit
