    Does anyone know which master link will work with the stock chain ? The stock chain has a small pin diameter .199 and I have been told that Husky doesn't sell a masterlink. I hate to toss the chain with 150 miles on it....... Emailed my chain guys but they did not know either.

    thanks

    Who told you Husky does not sell a master link? I was able to buy one for my 510 at a local dealer.

    You can also look closely at the chain and see if any of the links have the manufacturer's name stamped. If so, contact that manufacture with your bike's details and you're golden.

    Dealer said not listed for the Terra and the stamp on the link plate doesn't match any brands I recognize.

    Try reading other link plates and Googling the result. Also consider taking your bike to a hard-core motorcycle wheel shop as they could find a match from their inventory.

    That's all I've got. :thinking:

    My chain is an RK 520 and I'm guessing O means "O" ring, so it may be the cheaper RK series.

    BMW does not install master links on their chains. They don't on any of them, 650 or 800GS You have to splice one in if you want one.
