That's seems to be the general consensus among most people. I've used clips on a 125 but that's it no way I'd use one on a 600. It's best practice to replace the seals but you don't have to. Replace them if they look worn or damaged or if there's dirt or rust around the bearing. If the bearings look clean then the seals should be ok to use again. If you google motorbike rear wheel bearing replacement you should get a step by step way to do it. All motorbike wheel bearing replacements are basically the same. There'll be two bearings and a spacer between them. You'll need to get a drift and catch the edge of the bearing and knock it out. Then the spacer will come out. Then knock the other side out. When you're installing the new bearings make sure you seat them with something that's the same size as the outer part of the bearing and don't hit the inner race or you'll damage the bearing. Also be careful not to push the bearing in too far or it will lock up and you won't be able to turn it. Again with replacing the chain just google motorbike chain replacement and they're all basically the same. If you've got a link to the tool you bought put it up and someone will explain how to use it. RE the instruction that said to" join the old chain to the new". That join is just a temporary join. You could use a bit of string if you wanted. It's just to get the new chain around the sprockets. You don't have to do it if you don't want to. You can just break the old chain off and carefully feed the new one around by hand.Now that type of response is all I was asking for. Absolutely perfect. That's all I was asking for.
Ah I can see the pictures of the tool now. Basically there are pins and there are backing plates. Some of the pins are for pushing out the old rivet and some are for riveting the new link. You need to select the correct diameter pin for the chain you're using so that the pin can pass through the hole in the chain. With the backing plates some have holes in them to allow the old rivet to be pushed out and some are solid to allow you to rivet the new link. Have a look at these instructions they're pretty comprehensive http://www.motionpro.com/images/document...8-0058.pdf
I seem to have a gift of triggering comments that rub me up the wrong way ... Not always but sometimes., and not from all members, sorry! I'm only asking for help that I can understand through a rationale. Just because soneonbe says 'do it' doesn't mean I follow because I like to understand a rationale as to why. I feel that's important on a forum as it in life generally. Just my own mindset. I don't mean to rub people up and I value all comments so I will think about how I can express my requests so that people understand better and do not feel rubbed up. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and thank you one again for that wonderful insightful post which helps me to comprehend the procedure AND the supporting related rationale
