    Anybody local with a chain puller and riveter available to give me a hand Saturday 9/11? I have garage and other tools, but no idea where/who to rent/borrow the "specialty" tools from. Let me know, I'll buy lunch or beer

    I'm not close enough to help but which chain are you working on? Cam or rear dive chain. The rear chain has a master link to remove and re-install it. The cam chain does require a breaker and riverter, ask a local Yamaha dealer if you can rent one. Possible a auto parts store has one to rent.

    sweet, thanks for letting me know. I'm working on drive chain, not the cam. I figured I'd cut out the old one, but my understanding is that I'll have to rivet in the new master link?

    you don't have to rivet a link on there, the trusty old master link setup works great. there are lots of people who say its a safety issue that the master link can fly off but they somehow managed to work fine for years and years before the onset of riveted chains.

    just make sure the closed end of the clip is pointed in the direction of travel.
