Is there any dimensional difference that counts between standard and o-ring chain? Put another way, if stranded someplace, could a non o-ring chain be put on the OEM (o-ring) sprockets to get home? Or are the sprockets different widths for standard and o-ring chains? Thanks. Bob Kaub

I'm about to change my chain. Going with a masterlink type. I usually just buy whatever the dealer has there, but you guys have so much good info in your noggins, I thought you might have a preference for chain type. Any preferences? John in T.O. A11 (or is it C11? I just read the FAQ)

A rivet style master link will usually eliminate that problem. cchuckie51 wrote: found one more thing you need in tool kit the hard way lost my chain to day was 2 hours from home riding along great an alof a sudden i heard this noise woke me up i thought i blow the engine pulled in clutch rolled over to side of road reved engine it was ok got of bike an there it was an empty rear sprocket so pushed bike up hill to a spot an my girl freind called her nephew an by the grace of god he was only 10 minutes away at a freinds house we told him what happened an he access to a truck ramps an tie downs he picked up bike an took to my girl freinds mom's house a 1/2 hour away. so she took me home on her bike don't like sitting on back at all so in the future will be getting a master link as a spare i did pick up the chain just thought i would share this chuck Archive Quicksearch at: http://www.angelfire.com/ut/moab/klr650_data_search.html List sponsored by Dual Sport News at: www.dualsportnews.com List FAQ courtesy of Chris Krok at: www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html Yahoo!

I suggest checking your muffler mounts bolts all the way around starting at the head, behind the rear master cylinder reservior, and up under the rear rack. --Jim A-15
