XDude Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Ok, I have an issue that is really starting to bother me. In JUNE I bought a Yamaha TW200. It is a 2005 with only 615 miles on it. The chain was pretty loose and I think I need to move the back tire back to tighten it, becuase I'm pretty sure the stress of me picking up the slack broke the master-link. Anyways, the masterlink shot off while riding and its a simple fix, but I cannot find it! I haven't been able to ride since the day I bought the bike in june because I cannot find a masterlink anywhere . There are only 2 dealerships within 100 miles of me and neither of them have it. I have looked all over the internet and nowhere has it. I am on a waiting list on twowheelcorp.com for the part and they have informed me that the part was on back-order from Yamaha and they should get it September 1st. Well September 1st rolled by, then a week, and I e-mailed the guy and he said the shipment still hasn't come in from Japan, so am I just going to be screwed for like a year? I want to freaking ride!!! I am making this thread to find out if there are any alternatives, does anyone here have an extra master-link that will fit my bike, anything? Anyone work at a dealership that can get the part? I have money! Nice forum you guys have here, I'll stick around too . Sorry that is a bit of a long post.
