When I was at break today from work, I noticed the spring clip was missing from the master link. Holy Sht!!!! I was doing about 90 to 95mph going to work. In case you guys think I was drive reckless this is 4:30 in the morning on a lonely toll road with no cars in site. Looks like it was recent cause the area where the clip was , was still shiney. Go to bike shop, power sports, and buy a new clip. I also buy a press tool so I could use the rivit type instead. When I get to work I notice the guy gives me the wrong tool. I return it but he doesn't have the right one I need. So I'm back to the spring clip. You guys think this was a freak thing or just stick with rivit type?

I'd go with the rivet if I were you, gpggnnn. Meanwhile, if you keep the link system, carry a spare master link and a couple clips under the seat at all times... when you lose the chain underway, you'll find the chain again, but the clip & the master link will mysteriously vanish at that instant.

I've lost TWO chains while riding . Both had clip-type masters that were installed by a shop . I don't use clip-types no more . I DID put one on the bike I was building , and did like Meany said and siliconed it REAL good . It was a BITCH to take off again , so I guess I did SOMETHING right .

there is a right way and a wrong way to put on that clip.
you need to make sure the closed end is facing in the direction of the chain rotation.
just a little info in case you did not already know this.I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.
