Maybe I'm an idiot but... in an emergency I needed a master link for my ZX6R track bike. The local shop only carried "clip style" master links so I figured it should work well for at least one trackday. After that I got lazy and never bothered to switch to a "rivet style" one. About 4 trackdays later (my last one being yesterday) I come to notice that my clip is gone!!! I don't know how long I was riding without it but I'm sure it was there as of yesterday morning. So like I said, maybe I'm the only idiot here and the lot of you track guys and racers know this already but I'll say it anyway...if you are running a track bike with a "clip style" master link PLEEEEAAAASE change it out for a "rivet style" one. Also, check your chain frequently. Most of the time it takes experiences like these to learn the "Do's" and "Don'ts" of motorcycle maintenance. I consider myself very lucky that the master link didn't back out and send the chain flying off into my gearbox, my leg, or into the path of a fellow track rider/racer.
