The ARS link is a connecting link with which you can close motorbike chains that are supplied open.
The ARS type connecting links are always equipped with a clip and require a certain amount of pressure to be put on. First you have to push the side plate over the pins. Then the clip can be pushed into place using pliers.
When assembling the ARS connecting link, it is essential to thoroughly lubricate the shafts, bushings and O-rings of the chain. The small packet of grease provided is especially designed for this purpose and will help prevent stiff links, premature wear or even chain breakage.
After thorough lubrication, the connecting link can be closed with the side plate. To avoid crushing the seals, use suitable tools and measure the distance between the outer plates of the other links and those of the connecting link with a caliper. Gradually press the side plate to its final position (see sketch):
