Okay, so my Ducati just got a whole bunch of gifts in the mail, including a new chain and sprockets. Here is where my question comes in. The new chain that I received is set up with a clip-type matser link. The owners manual, the service manual and even my local mechanic (who has dropped the Ducati dealership) says to never use a clip type master link. My question is: Why not?
I mean, I know that, obviously, it is a higher performance bike and that the Clip type M.L. are not as strong as they could be, but why can't I use one? It is a street bike and has never seen a track (and probably never will).
