The master link on my chain dissapeared last night! The chain/sprockets have done around 2500 miles, no tight spots etc - would I be ok to just fit a new master link & carrying on?
No damage when it came off, luckily I was doing around 30 mph at the time and it didnt get caught or snag itself on anything. The chain is an 'Iris' chain - was on the bike when I got it. |

I should think it'll be fine with a new master link. Back in the olden days, spring clips and side plates used to come off and you'd just shove another one on ....

No problem fitting a new one, use the same make of link as the chain as there can be very slight differences between makes

Ah.. ordered a D.I.D one as I couldn't find any IRIS ones..
Oh well I'll get it and see how it fits, if no good I'll order an IRIS one from somewhere. Had to wait 5 hours for the bike to be recovered by the RAC so ordered 1 on eBay whilst I waited |

2 seconds on ebay brings up this http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fr...+link&_sacat=0 i'm sure if you contact the seller of the split links he might be able to help.

Anyone tell me if the chain sprockets for all pointy 650s's are the same? My bikes a K3 so would this need a specific K3 kit or will any 650s chain/sprockets be ok?
