I just changed my chain and sprockets yesterday on my cbr250.
I got a clip type masterlink with the chain and when I was putting it on I noticed that it was bloody hard to get the bloody side plate on.
Cutting the long story short I tried several times to put the clip on before the side plate was properly on the links and stretched the clip out. I simply stretched the clip back to original shape and sucessfully put it on later after pushing the side plate in further (and broke 3 warehouse G clamps)
The question is, can the clip go through the abuse of being stretched out then being bent back? should I get a new masterlink put on? doing a trip to Auckland tomorrow so really need to get it sorted today...
Thanks in advance
