Genuine D.I.D for me Mark. Tried a copy of it (warrior I think) and it just splayed out as I was riveting.
depends how often you'll use is. In my case where I would only change mine once in my lifetime, I would go for one £25 max. If I had deep pockets, motion pro or RK would be the candidates
I expect to do one chain in the next 12 months ( for the first time!) Would be interested to learn how you get on + do’s and don’t’s
Done , the hardest bit was getting the front sprocket nut off , it's 145Nm torque , I didn't have a impact wrench . Buying good kit pays off
sounds promissing, there is hope for me then! Did you grind the head off the pins on the old chain before using the tool? 145nM, this is huge what bike was it?
I just cut through the link with a 4inch cutting disc in my Makita, the RK was so easy to use with excellent instructions, the bike is a Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor, very tight sprocket nut
Well I did mine but bought a £20 US pro kit. Compared to RK: The handle is thinner & less comfortable to grip tight with force; so I wrapped some cloth around it. The press plate on the rivet side only has two holes & keepd twisting when you load it. RK has a reversible press plate presumably with locating guides for both sides. Since I couldn't use my press plates, I ended up pressing each side of the rivet plate individually!
