new chain and sprockets

[yogurtpooh]

is this a good and complete kit to get?http://www.amazon.com/D-I-D-DKK-013-...n+sprocket+kit

has anyone ordered this kit- it seems like it's missing some nuts and bolts.
Can someone recommend a complete kit replacement? thanks

You would re-use your current nuts and bolts.

in this kit, there are some nuts and washer looking ring things on the left corner.

That's the Master Link for the chain. There will either be a clip style (the odd tweezer looking thing) or a rivet style which requires a tool to rivert the ends of the links. The o-rings go on the posts of the master link on either side of the chain.




The nuts on the rear sprocket and nut on the front one are reused.

do you know if the kit has the master link?
Anyone use that kit before? if not can someone recommend me a decent kit that isn't too cheap like Volgar or whatever ebay brand

I don't know if endless chain can be used on Ninjette, but if yes, it might be a better option.

I've not bought a chain yet that hasn't included a means to attached the two ends. I've bought GYTR, Renthal, EK, Regina... Uh, and something else. I would be very surprised if a kit did not come with a master link.

Can't help you on the kit, sorry. I just buy my sprockets and chain separately as I need them or switch to higher or lower teeth.

The stock chain is riveted, and I've riveted all mine after discovering my clips kept vanishing. Is there a reason why it wouldn't be possible?

Someone asked if the kit came with a Rivet Link
and the answer was it comes with a clip on link.
is that the same thing as a master link?

is 100 dollars a fair price to pay for this? thanks

Yes, it's a master clip link. You get the chain to length (if needed) and put the X-Rings over the master clip link, put it through the chain to attach the ends together and the master link clips on. See video below for how the link goes together. There are tools made for installing clip on master links, but everyday tools can be made to work.

The master link is the bit that goes through the ends of the chain to connect them. Rivet/endles or clip is how those two ends are secured together.

All chains I have bought had both types. I would be surprised if all chains did not at least come with the clip type to connect the chain.

Master link with clip (notice the groove at the end of the open posts, then is what the clip slides into)


Master link that uses rivets (notice no groove)


The ends of the posts are squished by the tool to prevent them from sliding back out from the chain.

A nice comparison:

For the chain and sprocket kit? On the surface it sound fine. I think I paid around $45 for my sprockets and something like $80-$100 for my chain. Quick google search is showing the same brands down to $50, so $100 feels about right for normal.

Someone else correct me if needed, please.

Go with a vortex kit. Their stuff is Usa made and legit (they use RK chains tho). Call them up. Say you race or something and they will throw you a discount. PM me if ya want a number of a guy I go through.
