i have sort of an odd question i suppose. anyone know if i could break my DID chain, and re-use it again on a new (to me) 919 if i also re-use the sprockets that were used with the chain? if so, where do i find a new master pin? and again, how do i know which pin to break? does it matter?
i ask because i have the best DID x-ring chain out there along with the 17/44 sprockets on my wrecked 919 and i want to transfer them over to another 919 rather than fork up the cash for new sprockets/chain. thoughts?
As long as everything is in good condition it shouldn't be an issue as long as you're keeping them all together (sprockets and chain) as a matched set.
Yup just drill the rivets out, if you don't have a press tool a shop will have to install it for ya I personaly stay away from the clip style master link. I ran em for years with no problem but once I really thought about my chain getting wrapped up in my rear rim cause I didn't take the extra step I changed my ways. Not likely but hey prevention is the best protection.
How many miles on your old set up?
Are the chain/sprockets worn on the new ride?
And I wanna see! Did you post pics? Details man, details!
thanks guys. current chain/sprockets still have less than 4k miles on them so yeah, i wanna re-use em again. besides, lovin the 17/44 setup and would like to carry that over.
brian, nothing's confirmed yet! got something in the works though. i'll keep y'all posted, promise.

Why don't you just pop the swing arm off and pull the old chain off. Probably be quicker than finding a tool and being 100% sure you did it correct. Without the swing arm the chain comes off and goes back on in one piece, and with the wheel off to get the rear sprocket it is only two more bolts.

I was going to try this becaue I thought the left lever bracket would just un-bolt. But they ran the swingarm bolt from left to right so you can't just pull it off. I might turn that bolt around though.
I have had my swing arm off, and pulled my chain off without breaking it. The only two bolts that hold the swing arm on are the pivot bolt, and the shock.
