bri98 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 If your current chain is in good sape just remove a few links. Set your adjuster in the middle andrun the chain around the sprockets to see wher you need to cut. I removed three links for my -1. As far as cuttung the chain a local shop could do it. Or if you like to do things yourself, like me. Decide your length then grind the pin flat with the outer plate of the link, once it has been ground down you will be able to see faintly where the pin is located. I place the chain across the jaws of a vise and with the proper size punch and a hammer drive the pin through. Then re assemble with master link. Do Not try to skip the grinding step or you will never get the pin out.If you ae unsure take it to a pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
