Ive Raced Motocross For 9 Years And Never Have Snapped A Chain Or A Clip Link. I Have However Snaped A Masterlink On A 200$ Did Erviii Chain On My Stuntbike.

i ran a clip style on my f4i all year 520 size abused the shit out of it never had a problem till i fucked up the clip ive heard u shouldnt use them but f it they work fine

i wouldnt be takin my clip on and off...they get all damaged easily when removing....ive got 2 master clips on my chain

but u can get a new master link cheap if u really are compulsive about "taking the chain of and lubing and cleaning it easily"

clipped or pressed if not done correctly they come apart

ive never had any problems with a clip-style master and thats all i have ever ran on all my bikes, be it dirt or street.

never had a prob. techs have told me that if u reuse them, or put them on backwards they could fail.

If you run a clip-style, buy new master links everytime you take them off!


Removing and reinstalling a used link is what makes them come off..

I had mine fall off 100 miles from home.. sucked!
