Chain fasteners for motocross and enduro - secure drive connection

Chain links (master links or connecting links) are small but extremely important elements that connect the ends of the drive chain. They are responsible for the safety of the entire drive, maintaining a stable connection when operating in extreme motocross and enduro conditions. At Bajamoto you will find chain clasps and clips from renowned manufacturers: DID, Renthal, RK, Accel, JT, EK and Regina - fitted to O-ring, X-ring and standard 520 / 525 chains.

Why is the chain clasp so important?

The clasp is the weakest link in the chain - literally. It connects the ends of the drive that work under heavy load and in changing conditions. Therefore, it must be made with precision and perfectly matched to the type of chain. Using the appropriate clasp guarantees:

• secure and durable connection of chain links,
• easy assembly and disassembly without the risk of damage,
• resistance to mud, water and vibration,
• safety – prevents the chain from unfastening while driving,
• compatible with O-ring and X-ring chains.

Types of motocross and enduro chain clasps

• Clip-type clasps – easy to install, ideal for motocross and service riding,
• Rivet-type clasps – guarantee maximum durability and safety in Hard Enduro,
• O-ring and X-ring clasps – dedicated to sealed chains, water and sand resistant
• Reinforced clasps (heavy-duty) – used in high-strength competition chains

How to choose a chain lock for a motorcycle?

The choice of clasp depends on the type of chain and riding style:

• Standard / Clip-type – motocross, quick assembly and frequent service
• O-ring / X-ring – enduro, Hard Enduro, where tightness and resistance are important
• Rivet-type – sports riding and competition, maximum endurance
• Chain size – most often 520, 525 or 530 – the clasp must be compatible with the link spacing,
• Chain manufacturer – it is recommended to use clasps of the same brand as the chain (e.g. DID from DID, Renthal from Renthal).

Installation and maintenance

Assembling the chain clasp requires precision - especially in the case of riveted versions. For clip-type fasteners, make sure that the lock is directed against the direction of rotation of the chain. Riveted clasps should be tightened using a special tool (e.g. DID Chain Tool) to maintain full tightness and safety. After each ride, it is worth checking the condition of the clasp and its position.
