So I took my 03 600rr completely apart and got my home boy to paint the rims frame and swing arm. I ordered a new cage sub cage sprocket and chain and got all those powder coated as well so I'm just anxious to put this thing back together. I dint have a chain tool to use my rivet master link but I have a clip on link. What do y'all think I should do, wait a day or two and put the rivet master on or just go with the clip on?? Oh and the sprocket is 64t. Just would like to get some advice. Thanks everyone

 

either is fine,I've ran both styles and have never had a single problem with either one,just make sure you install the clip facing in the right direction,even though I really dont think it matters.

 

if your stunting i would NEVER!!!!!!!use a clip what makes more sense really though a solid chain all the way thru or a chain with a clip link answers it self pretty much wouldnt be fun for your chain to snap during a wheelie

 

Either one works fine, as long as they are installed properly!

I've seen FAR to many people improperly install rivet style links... And improparly installing them is way more dangerous then a clip that was properly installed!

Also with clip style, you can safety wire them if you want, as well as silocon over the top of hte safety wire, then they will never come off..

My last chain I safety wired it, my current chain, I actually dropped some super glue on the link then put it on, isn't no way it's coming off without a punch and a hammer!

Don't try installing a rivet style with a hammer.. If you beat it on too far you can fatigue the metal and cause it to break unexpectedly, if you don't beat it far enough on it could fall off. Many people use hammers to install them with a punch, and it's NOT the right way. Might as well use a clip if you are going to do that.
Sure it could work, but what happens if it fails? Hopefully you don't lose a motor, or a leg!

 

what up sef... man i've always just run the clip links on my chains and never had any problems... the rivet links just seem to be a huge unnecessary pain in the ***.

 

+1 never had any issues with my clip yet just make sure you have it in the right direction

 

Thanks for all the responses. I'll probably use the clip on for now! I'm just ready to get back to the lot! Got the bike all painted up just to **** it up! Ha gotta love the stunt life!!!

 

What's up Peter! When you get your rear sets back? I'm ready to ride. Ima send you a pic text of the what the bikes lookin like

 

Then DON'T Rookie!!!

 

i have a 06 600rr and ran a clip link so i could take it off when i need to or wanted to. i ended up losing it twice but got damn lucky something bad didnt happen. (and yes they were both on the right way) i would definitely put on rivet link!!

 

Yea I used the clip on. To impatient to wait to get the rivet installed!
