Hi Guys
Just stripped down the H2 C after the southern rally. Good news the chain did not do any other damage
Managed to get the chain free from the front sprocket and checked out the casing and nothing.
Fitted new chain and sprockets and away it went.

Not any longer... I'll hand the 'broken down on the rally ride out' Trophy over next time I see you Nigel (was my turn last year), glad to hear it didn't do any damage..
I still haven't sorted my 'break down' cause (Fork Seals), just ridden her anyway.

do not fear the split link
i run a chain 530 pitch running 150 rwhp with split link and i thrash the s--t out of my dragbike
its all down to the qaulity
dont skimp on the chain qaulity and you will be ok

oh yes Gary,
i'm running a double split link on the standard h2 with a 49t back sprocket but no probs after several thou miles, includes drag runs in IOM and Shakey. and think its the home rivet system that would actually break first, never did trust 2 hammers,,..

That's good to know Garry. But I have bought the kit now and have never had any probs with an endless chain. So will give it a bash.
We'll see what happens next year. LOL.

You can always just buy a soft link to replace you split link. Try Sprockets Unlimited.
