masterlink
ok where would i get a master link? the dealer says they dont have them?Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment
