Title: Re: Peening split link Post by: jerryz on November 19, 2010, 07:26:49 PM I peened the last S4 chain and it held for 10,000 miles but the one on my M750 broke after 3400 miles and was replaced by a spring clip , the rivetting tools I have are a chinese $50 onewhich is crap and a German $170 one which is also useless , a shop i saw in UK had hydraulic on but i guess thats expensive .
