OPTIONAL ... as the worn chain is headed to the recycling bin anyway, utilize a disc type cutting tool (electric or air driven) and cut through a connecting link anywhere.
Takes all of about 15 seconds.
Good luck with it.

Thanks, I don't have a dremel or anything laying around so I'll most likely use a chain specific breaker and riveting tool. Would it be possible to do this without grinding the edges?

This bike has been extremely neglected. I'm the 5th owner, which I assume all 5 of us were most likely begginer bikers. Still no excuse to neglect a motorcycle.
