    It is more than just a habit with me because you just know that the
    next poor SOB to have to do it, will be you!

      BTW, I used the clip-style master. Some folks think they're horrible. I had one on the last 24K chain and I've probably never had anything but a clip-style master.........is there an actual issue with these, or are people being overly paranoid?

        It is all I've ever used, also. If you put them on correctly, I don't see the problem.
        I run one on the drag bike, so do most of the guys I know.

              Glad to hear it finally got back together. What brand did you go with?

                And before you lube the chain, put a dab of silicone on that master link to help hold it.

                    Just to be sure here. Are the two little c-clamps used to compress the seal rings? That seems to be the hardest part of the entire job.
                    Thanks

                    P.S. what are you supposed to do with the grease that the chain is packed in? Leave it alone or rinse it off and apply lube?

                      I leave it on it wears off eventually. Then start to use the chainwax.

                        Jesus, I can’t believe I’m asking this question. Job’s done and everything’s working smoothly, but I’m second-guessing here. When I ordered everything from Rob/Jeff at Z1, I got the sprockets, link, chain and spacer. I installed the spacer between the engine and the sprocket – it seemed like the only logical place for it, but I didn’t ask. I did a search here and people said it goes on the inside like I have it. So today, I’m looking to order a bolt set from Z1 and started looking through the site to see if there’s anything else I want. I looked at the washer and it said “This washer goes on the OUTSIDE of the sprocket! Not between the case and the sprocket.” That’s the 6mm washer and I’m pretty sure that’s what I got. I don’t think it was the 1.25mm washer.

                        Somebody give me a taste of the ultimate truth here.

                          The spacer, goes outside if you have enough room to still have the safety washer to lock the nut down. The safety washer, rides on the splines and then you fold it into one side of the nut after it is tight.
