My apologies if this has all been covered before. I did try to search through the posts, but didn't quite find the answers.

Replacing old "endless" drive chain and rear sprocket - looks like I can "break" old chain by using dremmel to grind off a couple rivet heads and punch them out. Right?
1)New drive chain has clip-on master-link. It started out as a 100-link chain. Should it be cut down to 92 links or 91 links (plus then use the master link for a total of 92).
2)Clutch lever pulls hard. I've lubed the cable, greased the xerkxes(sp) on the left crankcase cover and adjusted the cable across the 3 separate adjusting points (at lever end of cable, at crankcase end of cable and large adjustment on crankcase) - what other things can I do?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Joe
