If your chain is stretched beyond what the normal swing arm adjustment can handle, I'd say just replace the thing. I've seen first hand what happens when a chain fails at about 50mph...not good. But I'm pretty positive you can just grind off the connector and the link you want to remove and then add a new connector.

Having the right tools makes it easy -
You do need a new rivet type master link
of the correct size. I have the chain-tool so if
you want you can stop by and we'll take care
of that thing here.

Jase, yes it's possible, but it's not a very good or safe idea. If it's stretched beyond the swingarm markers/stoppers it's done so for a reason so just replace it asap. Even if you take a link out it still won't perform properly being the reason it's stretched that far is because all the seals are worn and compressed equaling a bad situation and they'll cause further damage to your sprockets down the line, or if it breaks it can lock up your rear wheel and you know what happens after that. Pick up a nice 520, 525 or 530 race chain and sprockets, being you're hitting the track more often you'll need them anyway so the sooner you get it done the better.
FYI, you need to remove 2 links since chains have an inner and outter. That would prob make it too short. Buy a new set, regear if you would like to but stay with a 530 since you primarily use it on the street.
