ya your right, what was i thinking.... honda, kawasaki, yamaha, suzuki, spend all that time and research to see what parts are better and safer for your bike, and even put a disclaimer about what master to use in a service manual, yet they are probably just lying about it, because im sure that most of you guys can build better bikes then them and what not

well for one, rivets are more or less sealed on, making it similar to an endless chain which is the strongest chain style there is.

but if properly installed a clip has no stress or strain, there is no outward force that would hurt the clip. its just there to keep the link on, same as the rivet. i just dont see how you think it makes it stronger.

*small c-clamp

Done!
Can you tell me what Dirt bike uses this?

According to you all clip styles are used for dirt bikes. I haven't seen a 530 chain on a dirt bike, ever.
Here is my take on this. Use what ever you want. Racers use the clip style and have no issues with them. If Racers don't have issues, then stunters won't. The only issue that anyone would have with a clip style link is if them put it on backwards and did a HIGH rate of SPEED. This would make the clip come off.

Shit, I just tossed out a chain last year that had 4 seasons on it of hard riding. It ha3 3 (THREE) clip style masters in it from when my stock chain broke and I patched it back up with clip links.... 
Point is, put the clip on in the right direction and you will have zero issues.

How does a rivet link seal better?

Why not pick up a book and try to learn something. Most of us out there werent born with your expert bike "building skills" and all the experience to back it up.
Bbhahahahahahah! You have no idea what my level of tech experience is, what manual did you read to bang. your rivet type masterlink with a block and hammer. My rep is established and out there. Your still just a Squid gas bag behind a keyboard no matter how many empty moronic comments you make.

its just another piece that could potentially fall off, there fore i would rather not risk it and I use rivet types.. As i stated before, i do not care what you run on your bike, but i have seen first hand properly installed clip style links failing and causing major damage to the bike.. Thats what I have actually seen, but ive heard way to many stories of people and there bikes getting damaged. so fuck that. I have all the tools to properly install a rivet so there is no need for me to use clip's..
