I don't see these cam chains listed on their website. Wonder if they will make them for other models in the future?

On the cam chain subject, I have not heard of any, other that KTM, that makes a cam chain tool for both breaking and riveting the 35 series cam chains (CHAIN,CAM,82RH2015-14 ) used on the 550 and other Kawasaki Engines.
-Motion Pro makes one that will break the cam chain only, but not rivet it.
-K&L use to make the tool for the complete job, but discontinued it many years ago, because it didn't work. I had one. K&L also use to sell these cam chain and also a separate master link too. They links obviously needed to be riveted on.

I’ve asked this before...,
Does ANYONE know of a case of broken master linked cam chain failure on a street bike.
Seriously, no BS, no wive’s tales or a guy you knew that says he knew a guy... etc.
I do not and I used to work in a bike hot rod shop in Detroit...

I have never seen one in person.
Ask Les Holt. I remember he broke a cam chain on the KZR Flag Rally years ago but I dont know if it was a master link or endless chain .
