Motorcycle Repair: Installing Drive Chain, fit link, press fit


Question
I bought a drive chain to replace on my cycle and am wondering how to install the master link.  The last time I installed a chain 20 years ago it had a clip for the master that you could install w/ pliers.  This new chain is a 525 o ring type chain with a type of a press fit link.  Can I install it with a c clamp or do I absolutely need to by a chain press tool?  Do you have any pictures on how to press it so it does not fall apart?

Answer
You can probably install it with a c-clamp if you are careful, but I do recomment a chain press. I dont have any pics to send to you on chains. Make sure the opening of the clip is facing away from the direction the wheel travels.
Good luck and happy riding
