this was my first time installing a new chain, i think i may have taken too many links off. i only took off two (or three if you count the inner part as a link instead of the outer?) the axles is all the way front and the tire is close to the swingarm. i was told the chain would stretch a lot first time riding it, any truth to this? it is the ek mvxz 530 chain which i found online has optional no-strech technology. im not sure if i have that or not or how to tell?
1. is the chain too short? tire too close?
2. is the master link riveted ok? i flared the rivets as much as i could but i could not turn that tool any further without a breaker bar or something.
3. is the chain too tight? there is about 1" of total slack and i have 0 miles on the chain.
i counted the links i counted 59 im assuming there were 60 and that means i have a 120 link chain, correct? that seems to be how they are sold, 110L, 120L, 130L, etc. so if it is too short i guess i will buy a new one i cant seem to find rivets to add those links back in?
thanks!
