    RK Chain 530 Master Clips!!

    Hi Guys I just recently changed Tires and chin and sprockets on my new to me 1984 1150 .I did buy 3 extra master clips which was fortunate as 2 broke right in half (the retention spring steel clip that locks the clip in place) I have been a Bike owner for many years and have never encountered such a issue as this before, I think the item was never drawn back or annealed. Just wished to mention this as I feel they aren't safe to even use. Im sorry I bought a RK chain, I usually bought tsusabakis and never had issues whatsoever and also Nitto chains, Anyhow just wished to give a heads up and let people be aware of this Issue i found. The shop gave me credits towards new ones but...Im staying away from rk for now. Mike

    I just changed my and used a RK 630 with a clip. Took a bit to get it on (no special tool) but it seems straight and tight. Ill keep an eye on it.

      If you don't use a link compression tool, you can bust those easy. Invest in the compression tool for clip master links. I did and it is very worth it. Once you get the clip in place and seated, apply a bit of silicone over the link. You'll never lose one. Just extra insurance is all.

New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.
