DeanRider The Republic, South Africa Posts: 1,292 Daytona 955i (02) 20 Feb 2012 17:56	Having just replaced the chain on my son's Honda CBR1000RR and my Daytona 675, I can thoroughly recommend the DID Chain Tool. While it is undoubtedly the most expensive of the bunch, you get an excellent professional tool for your money. Well designed, it works almost intuitively.

One note however: I never employ the chain cut procedure utilized in the Youtube vid. I have read too many horror stories of sheared pins! I simply use an angle grinder on the rivet heads and a small chisel to dislodge the link plate. It works like a charm. __________________ Deano Mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn llyswennod My skeertuig is vol palings

psycho Ireland, Eire Posts: 72 Speed Triple 955i (02-04) 26 Feb 2012 23:40	Would agree the DID one works well (I too bought it before the copy came out). Riggsy - you can make it easier on the tool by using a small grinder on the rivet first.

I use my small angle grinder. While one has to be a little careful, it does take away the stress from the bit. __________________ Deano Mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn llyswennod My skeertuig is vol palings

A quite comprehensive installation guide (PDF) for download too (in English).."instructions/guides".

Stu NW - UK, United Kingdom Posts: 3,029 Speed Triple 955i (02-04) 19 Mar 2012 21:36	I had a DID tool. The inner pin broke last time I used it to remove an old chain. Was good for fitting chains. But I'll stick with the ankle grinder in future for taking off
