You should kick your mechanic in the balls.

I know it's a little late to help you but... if you want some future assurance that you won't be stranded anywhere.

If you get an AMA membership (~$40/yr) and sign up for automatic renewal, you (and your family) get free roadside assistance with any vehicle you are travelling on/in.

I've gotten enough benefit from it in the last 4 years to pay for my AMA membership a decade into the future.

Plus if you have nationwide you'll get a %10 discount on your motorcycle insurance.

Plus a ton of other discounts and benefits.

Glad you got the bike home ok! Was it faulty installation, or chain failure? Stock or what chain?

Sucks.... What brand chain? Did you measure the play to manufacture specs?

[willb003]

So what happened OP?
Install the clip incorrectly?

[WolFeYeZ]

Got the bike back home and called up the shop that put the chain on who will be putting a rivet master link on this time :D It might have come loose from a day of hard riding, but I was going pretty slow when it happened, which is great. No damage also, which is great.

[sloridr]

Which shop? And not to start a commotion we don't need any shop bashing. We have enough of that.

Lol, for the sake of time I had a pro do it :slap:

[Bueller]

Am I missing something or did they use a clip style master?

[AOK303]

Oi fine i come clean i did it i guess gum and bread top twistie wires are not strong enough but its ok now i know

[FZRguy]

I trust no one when it comes to chains, which is why I install the master link myself.

Missed this thread, I would have picked you up since Evergreen is one exit up past my work.

Chains should always be installed by professionals...it's just so hard to do correctly...:rolleyes:

It's pretty much the only thing I never do myself. :silly:

How much of a professional is some hungover 18 year old kid.
