Which tool part number do you have?

An easier way to see if you riveted correctly is to measure the flare. We have a chart on our website that shows what the flare should be for each chain. rkexcelamerica.com/products/chain-tool/

If you're in the United States, you can order them from Dubya USA or you can have your dealer contact Southern Motorcycle Supply. If you're in Canada have your dealer order them from Parts Canada.

Sorry but we don't know what the product Fairy is. We don't have that in the US. Basically if the product is safe to use on your skin or hair then it's OK for your anodized product.

Awesome! Thanks for the support!

Red is currently not imported into the United States. Sorry

@@RKExcel thanks

You would have to inquire with Yoshimura.

You can order them from your local motorcycle accessories dealer. They might have to do a special order but they can get it for you.

Excel rim made japan, same brand different subsegment

I have a 2008 Hayabusa bruh and when I purchased it from the guy it came with a clip link bro and I cracked that throttle 180 all day nothing happened it was a RK drag strip chain they sound crazy

Yes it works with most other chain brands.

Yep. I just used a DID rivet style link with a press fit plate on an RK chain. Perfect fit. It was a non-Oring style chain. The RK chain tool worked perfect, pressed the outer plate to the exact distance needed, and then riveted to 5.60mm diameter on the link post. No friction or binding, same measurements across outer plates..

Great, I will get one ordered 👍

You would need to contact the Indian Excel Rim Importer - See their contact information here. www.excel-rim.com/asia.htm

same here. I ride Yamaha TDM 900 (2004 mod) with rivets. I ride it mostly Intercity, so wondering why not use clip.

On our website is a chart that shows the min/max rivet diameter for RK Chains. If your RK Chain isn't listed there let us know and we'll give you the chain min/max. rkexcelamerica.com/products/chain-tool/

To validate the warranty on a sealed RK Chain you must replace both at the same time.

only when you do half ass work always change as a set

If you have a cracked rivet link then you need to replace the chain and make sure the new chain is ideal for your bike and your riding conditions.

@@RKExcel only cracked the máster link when flaring the rivet!

@@pedasification You can contact your local dealership and get a replacement rivet link. Make sure the replacement rivet link is the one specifically designed for that model of chain.

Do you mean clip type connecting links?

@@RKExcel yes like this from the video.

@@billadmond9450 If it's for a streetbike we highly recommend using a rivet link. If it's for a dirtbike Clip style connecting links are OK. However never re-use an old connecting link. If you need to remove the link - then reinstall using a new connecting link.

Rivet when done correctly

Rivet connecting links are always safer - however they do require a special tool in order to install correctly.

We recommend using a rivet type connecting link when possible. Was this chain used on the street or off-road?

RKChainExcelRims It was used for street riding. Nothing crazy just commuting with a few sprints. I'm starting to understand the contempt for clip links. Are there any plain chain rivet links, because thats what I have now. Will switch back to oring riveted chain after this one.

I've heard of guys safety wiring the clip style links over the clip and plate to keep the clip in place

@@This0is0pointless How does one "safety wire" a connecting link? The part is not only always moving, but passing over two sprockets. How does it get safety wired?

@@GR8WHITEC5 well it's not technically "safety wired" but just a backwoods way of getting home if you lost the clip from that style link, you just use wire around the clip slots to keep the plate from coming off

Yup cuz it's a much higher rpm engine on sport bike and it will fail. That's how I bought my ninja 250 for next to nothing because guy jacked his engine up when his clip on failed at highway speed. Bent 2nd gear shifting fork and the shifting rod that all the gear forks ride along out of tolerance.

That's just not true. RTV sealant and safety wire on a clip master is seen on high HP race bikes all over the country. It's not unsafe.

@@AlSlonex123 You're right, it doesn't, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

So should i avoid clipon link on my sportbike or is there a hack or tip to install clipon link oh racebikes?

@@maxianoacosta there is no hack ... generally clip-on links are used in low-cc bikes, like r3 or 400s , bigger bikes people usually stick to rivet links i guess you COULD safety wire the clip-on link as a fail safe

Sorry for this delay in responding - I keep getting "Comment Failed to Post"... Trying again... If it's stamped Excel then the rim was produced by Excel, but produced for Suzuki as OE. If it were an aftermarket Excel rim then the Rim would have two Excel logos per side.
