Stock EX250 has a EK SRO chain. I thought that only Australia had less teeth on the rear sprocket (according to the service manual). The service manual says that the EK SRO master link is fine if you break a link and need to reconnect, but it can't ADD a link because there is no way to get another inner link. Master links are always outer links used to connect two inner links. What I mean by "outer" and "inner" link is that the plates alternately overlap in this chain design. Some links have plates over the next links and the next link has plates under it and under the next. I have seen chains that have all identical links where they are wider on one end and smaller on the other to fit inside the next links larger end.
