Has anyone purchased and installed the Amp link on their bike? I am considering purchasing one, but cannot find any rider comments on it. Any information would be appreciated.

Do a search in the archives...I, myself have posted plenty about the "link"

Not worth it at all....Hardly any noticable difference.
A couple of downfalls: Makes the chain very loud, you have to cut your side case to install it in most instances, Have to add links to your chain, Bearings wear out overnight. and are not easy or cheap to fix. If you ride the wheeler once a month and have money to spare...then get it...If you like to ride..spend the hundred+ dollars on a new filter and an oil change.

I bought one for my banshee and I did not make any difference. I could have used the $150 to do something else. I sold the bike with it and lost that money.

Xtreem2Dmax If these guys haven't already helped you to make up your mind,
(and all of their comments are correct)I'll add my comments. Don't buy one, your quad will sound like a tank driving by, when i had it on people would ask me what the heck that noise is!! I finally got tired of hearing people ask me that so i took it off, not to mention it didn't make any noticeible difference, I have a 300EX with a 14t front sprocket (adding one tooth from stock makes the chain close to the case, about 1/4 inch) and with their chain tightening recomendations the chain slaped my case hard enough to make the gasket leak so i had to take the side cover off and file the warped aluminum and then i used RTV instead of buying a new gasket, good as new but needless to say i dont have that piece of junk on my quad anymore!

94 300EX lots of mods, Graydon mid bore kit ect.

Wild man, have you missed something posted here? No one has anything good to say about this product. It would be a bit safe to say that it may not be worth the money involved, unless you have money lying around that is doing you no good. If that is the case you can send it to me!!

Xtreem, that was something we call sarcasm.
