The chaps I refer to are on the four stroke off roaders not the road bike lot, I see your point though Ken, bit of closing the gate after the horse has bolted kinda thing int it.
I too have dropped a tin of molten wax on the kitchen floor at the grand age of 16...............on top of week old new lino. My mum beat the crap out of me with a slipper for that one ;D
Dont think it was duckhams but some other gubbins we used to get from the guys at Acklams in town. There was never a better looked after TY80 in existance at the time, I loved it. ;D

I agree, never carry a spare link, no need. It definitely isn't a weak point, the load is taken by the solid link part, there shouldn't be any great side to side forces if everything is adjusted correctly and the chain and sprockets are in good condition.
While we are on the subject, I would also recommend fitting a Scott-Oiler, marvellous contraption, maintains your chain in tip-top order. I have one on my 500, hidden where the airbox used to go. Cannot rate it highly enough.
Laverdaroo:
Chain ordered, thanks peeps
Ken that bag came this morning with the gubbins in, cheers mate, I can get in now.
Although, whilst looking for some bits from my chippy box at the back of the bench, look what I found………….I bloody knew I hadnt lost it. Do you want yours back mate? The bloody thing had slithered down the back
I’ve had to order a gearshift drum stopper collar/washer bushing to get the mech put into the cases as that is missing also.
I’ve never seen it so deffo know it was never there which is a pain. I only looked at the fiche as I couldn’t suss how to fit it and discovered I have an issue!
There’s only two for sale and both in the USA so I’m waiting for that and until it gets here I’ll have to walk away from it which is a right pain as I wanted this back together before I take off for another 7 weeks again on the 15th
If anybody has one can I borrow it and I’ll drop you a NOS one back when I collect it while I’m over in the good ol’ US of A?
Quite hard to find at reasonable cost, even this one robbed me 10 bucks plus post
Part number: 24433-323-010

If you're sending stuff up to me then yeah send it back so I can marry it back up with it's mate. If not then wait until you are, no rush.
STOP bloody buying stuff like that collar, I must have one of them lying around somewhere, ask first before spending money, it's not a problem and I'd sooner all my little bits like that get used than thrown away when I kick the bucket ::)
