Drive chain replacement time, probably.

Well, you would need a chain breaker and a staking tool for the master link rivets. And hopefully a service manual for the proper staking of said rivets.

Harbor Freight carries a cheap chain breaker that worked fine for the last chain I replaced. I think it's $14 bucks.

Cycle Gear among others offers up inexpensive chain breaker and pinner.

What you don't want to do is lay out the old chain next to the new one and then cut as the old chain stretches; you want to count links.

Measure twice, cut once.

>60: measure twice, think, 'why did I do that?' Remember. Measure twice more, repeat.

Ideally what you want to do is get a chain with the correct number of links from the factory (then count the links). Fortunately, both of my CBs require 110 links, which is commonly available from most manufacturers. I haven't had to cut a new chain in many years.
