None with my Savage,.. but with past bikes, I always liked the convenience.. and no problems... I always carried a spare master, but never had one break...
They are directional, right?... was it facing the right way?... maybe just a bad seed...
Try it again with a new link...
best of luck...
You can also safety wire a master link,.. I never did,.. but the Savage is a torquey bugger... not sure on the how,.. try google or wait for an expert to chime in...
Was originally leaving this post to a more experienced rider, but figured I'd pop in to give it a bump....
BUMP!...
