Photos of My Master Link that Does Not Meet the Honda Spec. for Head Expansion

Flame away!

Dave.

 

The riveted link looks perfectly serviceable to me.

Don't worry. Be happy.

 
It does to me, too.  But I couldn't get them out to the 5.5mm or so as
spec'd.  Will talk it over with the dealership, and just trust their
judgment when they replace the chain, since they do it every day.

I did take the bike to Detroit and back ... I trust it enough ... but really
want to see how they do it at the dealership.  The drama should finish up by
this week.

 

If their attitude is that "the customer is always right", they will
happily install a new chain, and happily deposit *your* hard-earned
money into *their*
bulging bank account.

The difference between you and them is that they do it for *money*.


And the curtain rises on a new Dave drama every week...

I wouldn't.  If it was my bike and my chain, I'd go to a dealer for a
proper staking job.  Everybody had a lot of fun at your cost, but it
looks to me that your worries were warranted in this case.  


They will do a better job.  I still think you should leave your old
chain alone.  At worst it will wear faster, but you'll get some miles
out of it.
