Master link to join chain?

[warm-feet]

Master link (spring link) to join the chain after fitting a new chain - is this a good idea, or not?

are you talking about a 'clip' style link as opposed to a 'rivet' style link? If so, IMHO on a bike that puts out this much power I do not think so, a 'rivet' style master link is the way to go,.

+1..!! Clips can be dislodged sometimes, very rare but has been known to happen.

Just changed my chain to a DID and re-fitted 42 rear sprocket and had to remove 2 links, rivet link was supplied with the chain....easy to do with the right tool.

Most definitely, use a rivet..
