Sorry Pleiades, don't agree on this one... I had a '96 Tenere that spat an o-ring clip-link after riding 1500km on a trip up north. Riding hope on the blacktop, the engine went from 5000rpm to zero in a nanosecond as the chain bunched up, the carrier, chainguard and sidecover were smashed, and I was worried the cases were done. But that was a very tough engine. It was still running like new when it was sold. I've never used a clip-link since. And won't. As I've stated before, I don't run a tight chain, so bad stuff happens sometimes.

But each to their own, I say!
