You made it look so easy. I spent like a 1/2 hour trying to get mine on but I couldn't get one of the pins to go through the hole at first I don't know why it wouldn't fit through so I ended up drilling the pin hole out a little bit till the pin fit through and then once i got the ppin through the hole it was like the pins weren't long enough to hold on the plate and clip on the other side. I could only fit either the plate by itself or the clip by itself not both. So I skipped the plate and only put the clip on the other side and yeah that was a mistake cause not even 3 minutes of riding and the hole chain fell off lol. So annoying !! Now I'm waiting on a 10 pack of master links to come in the mail to try again.
great video, saw another one that was 20 minutes and it didn't explain shit. dude was just rambling. this one explains everything about the chain and only chain, straight to the point. only needed to learn about the half link, so thank you very much.
You would use the half link with the master link if you needed a bit more length? Would this be due to a new chain stretching? Sorry if it’s a silly question but I am completely new to all of this and trying to get as much info before I start my 1st project this spring.
So I’m the chain there is inner and outer plates. To put the master link both ends need to be an inner plate. But sometimes when you measure out ur chain it always ends up with an inner plate on one end and an outer plate on the other. So you break the outer plate and add a half link so the chain fits. Hope this helps
Half links are shorter than a typical chain link. I only learned about them because I was informed one would be ideal for my bike. They can also be used if one needs more precise chain length. With the current length of my chain now the rear wheel bolts are at the end of the dropouts. The ride is super spinny(48x17 ratio). Chain only has about 100 miles on it as well so it hasn’t stretched out much at all. I realized I’d need to remove a few links in the chain but the owner of the shop recommended a half link. The seattube of my bike is aero designed and takes up about an inch of the chainstays. The chainstays are a little short so this doesn’t give me a lot of space to work with in regards to my rear wheel and chain.
Hello I just installed a stage 2 kit on my gx200 I'm having trouble with it cutting in and out at high rpm it's getting plenty of fuel I have checked my coil Gap over and over the coil test good ... any suggestions?? I'm running a 22m carburetor with bigger jets.
Change the name to watch me use the chain break. You never explain wat parts to use I have the same one with different sizes and which and where they go idk cause you just did it. Remember your video is titled how to use it. Failed terrible
Again really helped. Did mine in like ten minutes thanks to you - first time too
Glad it helped
To the point and very useful content. Great work!!
Thank you!
Don't forget the closed end of the master link clip goes in the direction of travel
Good point.

No problem, thanks for checking us out.
This is already a great video before I even watch it I’ve had several people ask this
Most helpful video on the subject. Thanks

Thank you!
Great video, just what I needed,👍
Glad it helped!
Great. Thank you
On point thank you 🙏
You are so welcome
Nice video.
Thank you very much!!
Ive never heard of a half link but its seems useful as hell. Is it rated just as strong?
Not as strong. I wouldn’t use one on a race bike. But strong enough for most applications
Cool, a good video I can recommend to people
1. If I broke the chain. 2. make chain smaller 3. Can I connect it back together with same chain links at each end of the chain?
You can reuse a master link after you cut it down.
so a half link is always used with a master link. Got it. Thanks.
No problem, thanks for checking us out.

@@ihashinc567 It makes perfect sense now. I appreciate the information.

Can you split a chain without a chain breaker tool?
Grind the pin until it is flush with the plate and use a punch to push the pin through
Oh I see you
👍

Watch it again. I think you may have missed some of the information in it.
You guys really should leave the videos up to red beard
Dude sounds like a Vietnam war vet..
I am.
