Recently, we received some feedback that our Max motorsports chain was supposed to be for their model, but find it’s a little long. Can I shorten the chain?? Or should I just get a new chain ? Don’t worry, you can shorten it.
All chains come in standard lengths. Generally it has correct links to fit your vehicles. But in some case, for example, the chain you bought is out of stock now, we will send you long links chain. It's expected to cut off the extra links to fit the specific bike or ATVs. In fact the price of long links chain is more expensive than you ordered but we never ask the price difference.
You need one of these chain breaker, which makes breaking a larger chain easier than breaking a bicycle chain. This tool can easily connect the shorted chain or broken chain into the length you need and cut chain into the length your need without any other tools. It protects the chain from the damage that might occur during the connecting process. It is the perfect tools for connecting the roller chain.
How To Replace A Roller Chain :
1. Find the chain on you old chain.
2. Turn the handle to bring the pin up from breakers jaws.
3. Turn the chain breaker to push the rivet out of the chain.
4. Apply pressure slowly to each rivet，suddenly applying excessive pressure to the rivet will cause the connecting rod to bend and damage the chain.

Also, you can shorten a bike chain without tool. First, you can try to locate a master link on the chain, which can usually be pulled apart with pliers or by hand, allowing you to remove links and then reattach the chain with the master link. However, this method only works if the chain has a readily accessible master link and is not recommended for most situations as it could damage the chain if done improperly. And we don't bear any responsibility if the chain is broken in this case. So we suggest strongly to use our dedicated chain breaker tool to safely shorten a motorcycle chain.
