Chain changing
OK- all my parts are on order now. Biggest single expense was the chain break/press/rivet tool. Found deals on the sprockets and chain though.
Motion Pro Jumbo Chain Tool $133 RK XW 520 120link Chain: $75 SunStar Countersheft Sprocket 15tth: $14 SunStar Rear Sprocket 46tth: $43 K+N Gold Oil Filter: $13 Total: $280 I found the tool for $120 somewhere else, but the chain was $116 at Kneedraggers, and $90 something at Ron Ayers, so the few extra dollars on the tool were offset. I had planned to get the XR ring from Ron Ayers, but found the "premium" XW for $3 more at Chaparral. And Bike Bandit has the sprockets for $53/$28. I actually ordered them through the dealer for less! (and no shipping) For orders over $149, Chaparral has free two day shipping- so I figure that offsets any saving I could have had by buying everything different places. I better never have to replace that tool, so future replacements should be much less expensive.

You could dump that chain tool, get a dremel instead of the break and the cheaper motion pro press tool to put in the new link.
And sunstar sprockets??? WTF |

I have a dremel, but I'll get plenty of use from a chain tool- you only have to buy good tools once. I won't be loaning it out, but I can help out any other riders. Soon I'll have a tool set for everything on my bike- or basically any other import motorcycle (jap bike).  OMG- I've forgot to put in the other two quarts!?  Nah- that little crankcase only calls for two. I feel bad for you guys putting in 4-5 quarts of synth every couple thousand. My 650R is completely happy with dino oil and 87 octane. P-Twin FTW!

I've had my Motion Pro chain tool set for over 15 years now and I just used it a couple of weeks ago! Btw my bike only holds 3 liters so it doesn't surprise me that your bike takes 2.
