I been riding a 07 CBR600RR for a few years now and have gone threw 3 chain and sprockets kits. Every time I've installed them using the clip style master link from DID and have never had any issues with it.

I know what these are and how to install. Was wondering what the actual differences were in performance and tolerances. Still wondering.

I like the blooper reel lol. thanks for the knowledge

I feel like it’s a greater risk to try the pressed rivet style vs the clip. The clip style has never let me down. But press fit would leave me wondering if I did it right….

An easier way to see if you riveted correctly is to measure the flare. We have a chart on our website that shows what the flare should be for each chain. rkexcelamerica.com/products/chain-tool/

You explained the differences, but not the use cases, when use one and when use other, for example, why not use link type on super sport? i have one R6 with linked typed with no issues, what is the deal there?

same here. I ride Yamaha TDM 900 (2004 mod) with rivets. I ride it mostly Intercity, so wondering why not use clip.

Is there any risk using clip type connecting link on a street bike?

So I've had a clip link come apart and my chain fall apart while riding. The clip was installed correctly with the "fish swimming upstream"... What are the possible reasons and how can I avoid this in the future?

We recommend using a rivet type connecting link when possible. Was this chain used on the street or off-road?

RKChainExcelRims It was used for street riding. Nothing crazy just commuting with a few sprints. I'm starting to understand the contempt for clip links. Are there any plain chain rivet links, because thats what I have now. Will switch back to oring riveted chain after this one.

I've heard of guys safety wiring the clip style links over the clip and plate to keep the clip in place

@@This0is0pointless How does one "safety wire" a connecting link? The part is not only always moving, but passing over two sprockets. How does it get safety wired?

@@GR8WHITEC5 well it's not technically "safety wired" but just a backwoods way of getting home if you lost the clip from that style link, you just use wire around the clip slots to keep the plate from coming off

Why couldn't I use a clip style on a sport bike?

Yup cuz it's a much higher rpm engine on sport bike and it will fail. That's how I bought my ninja 250 for next to nothing because guy jacked his engine up when his clip on failed at highway speed. Bent 2nd gear shifting fork and the shifting rod that all the gear forks ride along out of tolerance.

That's just not true. RTV sealant and safety wire on a clip master is seen on high HP race bikes all over the country. It's not unsafe.

@@maxianoacosta there is no hack ... generally clip-on links are used in low-cc bikes, like r3 or 400s , bigger bikes people usually stick to rivet links i guess you COULD safety wire the clip-on link as a fail safe

thanks for the info!

what happens when you crak the rivet as in the video? to dangerous?

If you have a cracked rivet link then you need to replace the chain and make sure the new chain is ideal for your bike and your riding conditions.

@@pedasification You can contact your local dealership and get a replacement rivet link. Make sure the replacement rivet link is the one specifically designed for that model of chain.

This does not make any sense they just want people to buy rivet chains let me explain something to you all I Have a 2008 suzuki hayabusa when I purchase this bike From the owner it came with a drag chain with a clip on it and I did a 180 miles an hour several times before I even knew it was a clip chain and nothing happened and the chain on that bike was exposed to all the elements for over 2 years in his garage and his brothers car port so nawww miss me with this the clipit aight with me

Which is safer

Rivet connecting links are always safer - however they do require a special tool in order to install correctly.

like so many videos.. intro is SIGNIFICANTLY louder than the video.. please fix

Yikes, I just found a master clip link on my 2001 cbr929rr😬. I better get that replaced with a riveted link!
