SV power pulses arn't kind to a chain at the best of times, adding a clip link isn't going to improve things.

This is why clip links aren't supplied with a new chain

YC's suggestion of getting it to the garage on the clip link, before getting a proper job done, is all I'd trust a clip link with.

It's false economy to fit one, as the damage to you or the bike aren't worth it, should the clip link fail.
