    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Peening a drive chain master

AZR is stranded here in Portland, he needed an emergency chain replacement

After calling around, we found an EK 630 x 96 that fits well, but has the master link that needs to be peened, rather than a clip

We've been clamping and whacking the pins with no success. We lack the chain tool that does this

Any suggestions?
 
Will a local motorcycle shop loan you their tool with a large deposit as collateral?

We ransacked my garage for some suitable tip, no luck

Took it to the dealer, $14 and 15 minutes, Rob's test riding the bike as I type
 
A ball pein hammer and a large piece of metal to back up the other side of the link while striking the rivet (post).
 
Hi,

Way to go Big T! You da man!

On behalf of the GSR community I want to thank you for helping out our brother in need. :)


Thank you for your indulgence,
