X ring chain advice needed.

So I have never done an x ring chain before . Does it differ from the original chain as far as assembly goes?does it still use rivets?

I have never done one so don't really know what to expect. Any advice is appreciated.

I have attached a photo of a kit my buddy has that I can borrow. Is it sufficient to do the job?

thanks again.

Thanks for the advice. If it makes any difference, its an EK MVXZ chain.

Don't mess it up. Don't rivet the master link too tight. Some chains come with spacers so you don't do that.

Yes apparently the EK chain comes with a special master link that you just use an 8mm socket top put the link on. Some kind of screw on link. Yes I will have extra length as I am swapping my swingarm. I need 108 links or there abouts and they are shipping it too me with 120 links.
 
If you are using the EK with the screw master link, you don't need the riveter. The pin remover part you do ...or dremel the old master off.

I'm talking about a spacer so you don't compress the O rings too much. Might come with your chain.

My bad, I meant, do you have a spare master link, in case the one you have gets buggered up....
