RK Chain Tool

02Gsxxr · 09-18-2008, 08:11 PM

So the other day i roasted my driven sprocket(rear) teeth completely off but the bike does has 30k on it and has not been ridin softly. Just ordered the RK Chain Tool and obviously a sprocket and chain kit went with -1/2+. Just curious if anyone had experience with this chain breaker/installer tool

Thanx

I borrowed one from a friend to shorten a chain for my H1. Make sure the tool stays square to the chain or the push pin will break.

Made what could have a pain in the ass a very easy job.

I have that tool... haven't used it yet though. Seems to be of good design and solid construction.

I used the same tool on my 600's chain not a week ago, thankfully a friend had one I could use. great tool and really high quality. had a nice heft to it too, felt like holding a hammer rather than a chain breaker.
