V or RXP chain versus a VX chain

vagabondtwo · 03-16-2011, 02:03 PM

Long story short, I cut my VX chain too short, need about 1/4" to be able to fit the master link.
I am in central Florida and I can't find any 520 VX chain around, it would take something like a week to have it here.
I had plan to slowly make my way up north (Montreal) starting this weekend.
My question is; can I install a 520 V or even a 520 RXP on a Dakar? (that's all I can find right now) to get going, I have somewhere like 1500-1900 miles 'till I reach my destination. (not planning on doing any off-road for a while) my next destination after that is Paris.
At the moment I am riding around with 2 master links on the chain which is apparently not recommended.
