I personally do not like the OEM chain & think Yamaha have fitted a weak chain for the torque of our XT"s. With chains reported to break from 4000kms, mine only made 18000 kms & it was stuffed.
Go & buy a good Xring chain.

Kev, have you tried that tool on ebay, is it quality?
I read a fair bit on chains, just not sure on Yamaha prices. Not too keen on it TBH will probably get my sister to send over the one Capt has recommended!
When my chain snapped my friend & I used the hammer & brute force method.
One thing that I read somewhere confused me was that the wheel should be pulled all the way back and then the new chain be measured up to see how many links be removed. Shouldnt the wheel be puched all the way forward?
