I've had one on my banshee for a couple of years and it works great. I used to have a problem with my bike bottoming out but since I got a amp link it stoped.

OK, I'll ask the question

 

"What does an Amp link do?"

 

[Holyman]

It moves the actual drive point of the chain from the sprocket which is in front of the swingarm pivot to a point directly above the swingarm pivot. Because of this, the chain can pull directly on the rear sprocket without having any effects on the suspension. In the stock configuration, the torque from the engine is somewhat absorbed by the suspension. I have one on my 95 and I don't on my 99. I feel the 95 has better "grip" because of the AMP link. I got one for my 99 because I plan to run a - size swingarm and I don't want to have to run a chain slider.

All that being said, I don't think I'd pay $130 for a new one. I think your money would be better spent on other uprgrades. But a used one for around $50 is probably worth it.
