Many manufacturers say the split link is alright for up to 500cc 4 stroke engines. Who told you the chain on anything above a 125 has to be riveted?
Is it safe to use the split link on bigger (meaning above 500cc/45Nm) engines? No, it is not. Sure, if don't accelerate hard it will be alright even on the liter superbikes. But at some point in the future, when you decide to twist the throttle wide open and have a blast, that spit link might/will split. I have seen this before.
TL; DR: Rivet the chain on anything above 500cc, just to be safe. No special tools required. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I suppose I wouldn't if I had the gear to fit a riveted one but I wouldn't overly worry if I had to fit a split link as a temporary measure.
It would probably end up like those temporary puncture repairs that are forgotten about for the life of the tyre, forgotten. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

You could always get bodytard to weld your splitlink while he's there he could do your sprocket as well for extra security ____________________ Beer, It's the reason I get up every afternoon
