    chain question

    I am due to replace my chain. Its got frozen links that will not un freeze. Anyways the one I am looking at has a rivet type master link. Can I just take the clip type master link and use that in place of the rivet type? And for the GS450 its a 104 L 530 chain correct?

    If you can get a master link from the same manufacturer meant to go on that particular chain it's fine. The dimensions of all of the little pieces in the chains are not standardized. Some folks never use the clip type links, others do it all the time. I have had a few come off so I safety wire the clips on a blob of red RTV, that way it's easy to spot the master link and make sure the safety wire is still there.

    Like this, but with the red blob of RTV: http://faq.ninja250.org/images/f/f3/...tywirednx2.jpg
