no way dude!!
split the cases and get a stronger endless chain
do it the right way
splitting the camchain is asking for trouble

There's as many arguments to this as there are riders, but in my opinion and experience a master link type camchain works just fine. My experience admittedly is limited as all the KZs I've owned and all the miles, (300,000 plus just on KZs), I've only replaced one camchain and that was at 150,000+ miles on the engine.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
