• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I want to carry a spare chain link when I ride my 510 but don't know what it should it look like. I imagine it to be a link-and-a-half, but don't know for sure and don't have chain tools.

What size chain and seal type is the OEM chain?

Where should I get it from?
:excuseme:
 
You probably want to carry a spare master link. Your chain is a 520 size and most likely an oring version. So look for a 520 o ring master link. Any good Moto shop will have one in stock.

Here is a link to a great chain breaker tool. I have one and it works great. Should you somehow break a chain on a ride simply use this tool to press off the broken links and insert your spare master link and continue on your way.

A master line is but one link. Isn't the most likely place a chain will break is at the narrow link? That's why I thought a link-and-a-half was necessary.

Carrying the Motion Pro chain tool would be good too. Thanks.
