RK Racing Chain 520GXW-RIV-CL (520 Series) Steel XW-Ring Rivet-Type Connecting Link

So far about 6,000 miles on this chain with my triumph tiger 900 it's been holding up great. I commute 150 miles round trip daily and I ride hard. I try to oil my chain at least every other day but I'm not great about it. This chain has been handling my punishment so far.

I haven't used it yet because I bought a chain I thought was a good deal for a spare from Amazon the master link was missing.I thought it be easier to just order a new master link then to go through returning the chain I was wrong a couple weeks later I took a good look at the chain and it looked used so I measured it and it's at the max stretched point I don't think new chains come maxed out I only noticed because I saw a little surface rust so I magnified it and saw dirt it looks like someone swapped it out and returned it and nobody checked it they just sold it to me lesson learned

So far has been holding up pretty good, would be cool if they made a glow in the dark chain.

Of course RK makes a quality product. This link has a nice finish, is precisely made and comes with the necessary O-rings and grease for proper installation. As long as you use a good quality chain tool, assembly and riveting will go smoothly. The only issue to be aware of is that the copper alloy rivet pins are soft for ease of installation, so you need to apply pressure evenly and slowly to avoid flaring them out too much and cracking them. A digital caliper is very helpful to check the pin diameter to confirm proper installation.

Good quality mid-end chain for the money. I found the chain was easy to install with the right tools on hand, and the package came complete with everything needed to get my bike back on the road. Included master link rivet type and extra lube. I think the chain has good build quality and did my research to come away with this one - supports up to 200HP in the 520 x 120 link version, which I went with. I would purchase this again if my chain needs replacing.

I have used this link on all my chain installs and never had a problem. Install is easy with the chain rivetting tool.

Looks great on my 06 gsxr 1000. Rivet style chains are well worth the little extra work.

Worked as expected. Would give 5 stars if it had color options
