So, I can just pull the pin on one link to remove it then press it back in on the next link?
I think I am going to call Motion Pro and see what they say....

 

I would recommend against taking links out of a stretched chain,if it is stretched too much, the links will no longer ride in the center of the sprocket grooves, and greatly accelerate sprocket and chain wear. A new chain is cheaper than a broken case from a flung chain smacking your motor.

 

Use a grinder on the tips of one chain link and pop it off with a screwdriver and then shorten your chain to length taking into account the new master link. Go to a bike shop and ask for the RIVET type master link for your chain. Make sure they have the riveting tool. This will be as strong as your old chain and much cheaper. I'm not sure that these 530 chains stretch very much and you're only replacing one link. If you have alot of time on the bike and are running alum sprockets on the rear it would be best to replace the chain and sprockets all at the same time.

 

When breaking a chain, simply undo the master (if your stock chain has one - the YFZ chain does not) and remove it. Using the breaker, push the pin out of the last link you want removed. Yep, takes a bit of pressure, but once you've done it, you're a chain-breaking master.

I always keep several spare masters on hand as well as several spare chains. I, unlike many others, sometimes run (2) masters. Doing so allows me to have chain sections in my tool box that I can add/delete as required to accomodate a larger/small rear. Many will say I'm nuts for doing this, but I've never had a problem and I maintain my chain better/more than any other part of the machine.
