Where can I order a master link for my chain online?

I have a Yamaha TW200 and I need a masterlink. I have been searching online but I don't know if there are different sized chains or what exactly to look for, but I have found absolutely nothing so far. Even the Yamaha site doesn't have it in the parts catalog. This is driving me crazy. I just got the bike and just took it out for the first time and broke the chain. Also, do I need any special tools to install the link? I haven't done it before.

EDIT: Well I can find a couple things on eBay but I still don't know what size to get. The manual doesn't even mention the word chain, so I guess I'll have to call a dealer and ask them or something?

Yamaha had the master links and replacement chains for my bike, I ordered them though the local parts dealer.
HAve you looked on the parts diagrams that yamaha offers?

I remember it was kinda hard to figure out what diagram, but I did find it!

Yeah I've been there, they have no master links on there at all, only replacement chains.

go to your local dealer, or, barring that, go to a hardware/industrial supply store that sells chains and sprockets and pick up a new one.

Your chain should be marked as to what size it is (520, 530, etc....)

you have a size 428 chain with 122 links in it.

I dont know what year you have.. but.. I looked on the 2006 and:

38 94680-88001-00 .JOINT, CHAIN (DID 428HG)

http://parts.yamaha-motor.com/partimage ... =82105,4,0

Thats directly from the parts diagram.. its the "Rear Wheel" diagram part number 38. You can call the dealership with the 94680-88001-00 number to order the part or get it if its in stock.

Thank you, ordered a master link today online. Dealer is not an option, the guy told me it would take him several days to change my oil and he was unable to fix my chain. And this was "the" service department too. So I will be learning a lot about motorcycles as I need stuff done.
