I used to break and link chains back in the 70s at the age of 15 by only using a hammer, a nut and a pin, total cost near nil! To cut the chain to the right length it's easy just put side to side the old chain with the new one and you have the right size. Use a chain link because it's MUCH MUCH more convenient when you want to remove the chain, I do this way so I leave it overnight in oil the I leave it drop the oil and I put the chain back, no expensive toll needed!

some chains come with a spacer for this. I saved mine. when it comes to spreading the end of the pins this is where the DID chain tool is genius. you can't over do it. you just tighten it until it touches and you will have a perfectly flared pin to exact specs

@weaver412

Жыл бұрын

​@@blue03r6 what Garber is saying is not flaring the rivets but pressing the plate. That's what I do Bob. Use a caliper and a lot of times plates will all be a little different but if you measure the width of multiple existing plates you will get a good measurement for the plate your pressing. I could never do it by eye. Then it affects your rivet etc.

I just received mine today and put it to use. It's great! One thing though: the main bolt (MP calls it the body bolt), HOLY SHIT was it in there tight when I first went to use it! I had to screw the handle in, put it on the floor with the handle facing the same direction I was turning it in, stand on it, then press down with all my weight to get it broken loose with the longest 17 mm wrench I have. So if you have the same problem, give that a shot to break it loose.

Great vid! Have you ever had to redo the master link after cracking a rivet? That's where I am finding myself now. My plan was to just use the extractor pin directly on the master link pins coming from the side that I was riveting. Not sure if I would need to file them in that case. Also what lubricant are you using on the tool?

@sportbiketrackgear

8 жыл бұрын

Daniel Walsh Thanks for watching! I have ruined many rivet links in my time. Really the only way is to break the rivet link and start over with a new one. I usually use a lithium grease, either a spray on or other, which ever I have around.

So im going -1 front ,+1 on the rear sprocket, and im afraid i may need to go to a +2 in the rear sprocket. So i need to cut chain as loose as possible bc the sprocket size is going to get larger requiring more chain correct?

Is there any reason to keep the factory endless chain once you break and remove it? I can't imagine ever needing it because it would require going back to the original. sprocket setup but I hate to just throw away an otherwise good item for no reason. Can you master link a chain that started out as a factory endless?

question for you van, I have a very stiff link in my did 520 chain. I am looking to replace the link with a new master link. you stated in this video by adding to a chain I can end up with binding. is there a way I can be okay to do this since I'm not adding more than one new link ? the chain only has 11,000 miles. thanks for all of the kick ass vids man

Do you need the master link width to line up exactly with the other links? How do you know exactly how far to press it?

FAULTY PART UPGRADE: the original PBR Rivet Tip (for hollow pin connectors) was a chrome ball pressed into the rivet tip head - they generally failed after the first use because it just pushed into the head and broke the rear magnet. The new "PBR Hollow Nose Rivet Tip" is one molded piece still with a magnet at the rear, so if you have broken one upgrade it with Motion Pro Part No: C080470L

Hey Van, I was wondering, would 5ish millimeters be enough for the rivets to be pressed? They might be 5.2 or 5.3 mm. I just put on some new Vortex sprockets and chain up in Maine on my 07 CBR600RR, getting ready for some nicer weather to come to ride. I left them at about 5ish mm because it was really starting to take some force and it feels like that's where they want to stay. It looks like they could spread a little farther though. Should I try to get them to 6mm or just call it good? I would imagine there isn't much force if any exerted on the master link in the direction to push the side plate off anyway. And to me, it seems like the 5 to 5.5 mm I have should be adequate, but this is my first chain job and I'm not completely sure! Thanks.

I never measure the rivet personally. When riveting the link of I try to get it close to others that are permanent and even with one another. If you do some research you may find some specs out there for the rivet links. At the end of the day there is very little for on the side plate and it doesn't take much distortion of the rivet to ensure the plate will not come off. - Van

Awesome! Thank you very much I just ordered that tool and same chain with sprockets, I'll be doing this next week.

You can not reuse rivet links, these need to be replaced each time you cut the chain. When changing sprockets if you are making a small change like 1-2 teeth you may be able to do that with the chain you have on the bike now. For example if your rear axle is towards the end of the swingarm and you want to install a rear sprocket 1-2 teeth larger odds are you will be good. - Van

@@hungwasson1399, yes I bought the new Ninja 400 back in Nov.2019...and would expect to purchase a new sprocket (with the same amount of teeth) along with the new chain...I could do a dry run on length of old chain, and if it was to long then I would be doing double work...and if it was to long by not paying attention to Van The Man, he would laugh at me and that would be the learning curve...right...thks for answering my question...and if you are the camera man of his work, then please excuse my comment on your focusing of your camera video shots, it's just I wish to be able to see the workmanship of Van The Man when he is doing something along with his hands doing the job...later

If you are using the same gearing and want to keep the wheel base the same length you can for sure do that. Any changes to gearing and you need to set the chain length when you install it. - Van

I have riveted several DID ERV3 chains with this tool in the video. End of the day there is no real difference between the DID rivet links and other brands. - Van

@@sportbiketrackgear there is a difference in the shape and size of the ball on the end of the ribbit section of the tool I'm thinking.i have use 3 links and to get them to D.I.D specs of how flared it should be.this tool will cause the ribbit to crack if you actually take the ribbit to just the bare minimum recommended by them and it will split. I have tryed it 3 times and went painfully slow and measuring in between ever little bit pressing forward. I belive the chain I have is the 530 vx3 d.i.d..if I get the ribbit anywhere close to the minimum that's require it will split down the side.this is just my experience and is very aggravating. I have used this tool on other model did chains with out having this issue. The sheet I have specifies it to be flared between 0.224 inches and 0.236 inches. I havent been able to get close to that without it splitting so I'm not sure.

you are a fool, you might ask your markets to open up so we can export stuff to you.
