Mate, you need to put the master-link clip on in the correct direction. The closed end of the clip should always be facing the direction of travel of the chain. (I.e. when the master link is on the rear sprocket, the closed end should face up and the open end should face down). You need to remove the clip and put it on the correct direction before your bike removes it for you on the highway at 70.
In case anyone reads this, the service manual explicitly says to NOT use a clip type chain connection and to only use the rivet type connection. Even RK advices against clip type as it is not as secure as rivet. Yes, you have to buy a rivet tool but it is worth it for the peace of mind.
Any noticeable noise from the non-rubberized sprockets? I found the JT front that is rubber lined like stock, but I got the regular rear like you did and I'm just about to put it together after replacing the tires. As far as the rear sprocket goes, any idea why the old one had that welded piece?

Every motorcycle I have ever had has the clip style on it with no issues. Even the last chain the magna had, has the clip style.
How do you get it apart for future service? You have to break the chain? (prefer shaft because of this but today I am student.)
thanks
that's Ottawa "big oles"❤
Happy i stumbled across your channel. I have a 94 magna and need to replace sprikets and chain also. Thanks for sharing the process
Your welcome. Glad you found it.

Not sure what the previous owner did. I think . Mine was a stock rear sprocket with an aftermarket front one.. and yes it's a little bit noiser.
how long did your new chain last?
@Luis.A.Hernandez still good
Have you ever deviated by changing different teeth on front sprocket and or rear sprocket.
Nope. Just replaced with this one.. I want to stay as close to stock as possible
I5 front 44 rear original was 16 front 38 rear
Go-a-head counter..... 24😂😂.
Yep it's the thing I do best..
