The original chains on most quads did not have a master link. They were made to size. I suggest you replace the chain if you have lost all your adjustment. It must really be worn out. Check with www.rockymountainatv.com they have good prices.

 Should be a 520 o-ring with 98 links.
If you do not replace your sprockets your just waisting time and money. Your worn out sprokets will wipe out the new chain in a few rides.
If your tight on $$, a HD non o-ring chain and new steel sprokets will cost less than a top 520 chain alone.
