Kahooli Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I was wondering if anyone in the Cincinnati area has a chain tool I could borrow for a weekend. I need to put a new chain and sprockets on my ninja soon and don't want to use the clip type master linksI don't really want to purchase one myself (low on cash)More than willing to leave something of greater value as collateral since I am not very active on this forum.Or if you know any shops that rent out the tool for a reasonable price that works too!Thanks!Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I saw one for $10 at Harbor Freight. It looked just like any other I've seen. It said it fit alot of chain sizes including 520 and 525. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheezle Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 If you are going to put a new chain on just cut the old one off with bolt cutters. When you get the new one put it on with the link in it and have a shop rivet it. They may charge you $10 to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost1888 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Put a clip link on the chain ride it to someones house or a shop and have them put the rivet link on it. It still would be cheaper than buying a $100 chain tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahooli Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Alright, after a few weeks of waiting for parts and going through some other issues with the bike I'm back to needing the press and rivet tools. Everything is ready to go I just need to connect the master link and I'm set! Catman is trying to find one for me (his is lent out still).If anyone else is in the Clifton area (or wouldn't mind coming) and doesn't mind stopping by for 5 mins to press and rivet the chain that would be awesome.I could also drive to you, borrow the tool and leave something as collateral.Otherwise I guess I'll just clip it and go to the dealer as others have said. Hoping to avoid that if at all possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
