I've never bought a chain, is that the length ? In what incriminate?

Going with this:

 

DID 520 ATV X-RING Chain 520x104

Fits: 1987 YAMAHA BANSHEE 350

Part# 1009860010

[sheerider11]

Yeah, it's a 520 chain with 104 links

For real? I've never bought chain like this. I just buy a pack of DID Gold 520 X-ring ATV chain, run it over the sprockets and cut it to length. Easy as and will never come up short.

Yea bought the chain today, they only has 120 so I gotta take out 16 links, bought a chain breaker too

[tdod101]

Buddy at the store said that the one link equals one pin, is this correct ?

[SpecialEd 05]

No, one link is one side plate so every two pins is one link. I don't use chain breakers anymore as I found that the the pins would leave marks inside the link barrels as it is pushes through. Instead I just grind the end of the pins down with an angle grinder going half way through the link plate. The link pins will just fall out then.

Ok great thanks, I'm gonna use the chain breaker on the old one just to see how it works, if I don't like it ill try your way
