RK 530XRE XW-Ring Chain

The chain carries all of the engine's power to the rear wheel. A worn one stretches, kinks and loses its lubrication, and you feel it as a snatchy, uneven drive on and off the throttle long before it lets go. Sealed-ring chains (O-ring, X-ring and similar) keep grease sealed inside every link, which is why they last far longer on the street than non-sealed chains.

• Ideal for OE replacement of mid-size motorcycle
• Lightweight and durable chain provides quick and smooth acceleration
• Designed with cutting edge technology from various on-road and off-road racing
• RK's original double-X-shaped "XW-Ring" seal provides exceptionally long chain wear-life
• Provides three lubricant pools, more than conventional O-rings for longer life
• Lubricated with specially formulated. vacuum-injected U-grease; locked in by tough Nitrile Butadine rubber XW-Ring
• Polished and shot-peened link plates
• High tensile strength ensures reliable performance
• Chains include rivet connecting link
• Chosen by pitch and link count, not by bike model
• Count the links on your current chain, or check your owner's manual for the stock length

Change the chain and both sprockets together. A new chain on worn sprockets wears out quickly, and so do new sprockets on an old chain. If you change your gearing, the link count may change too.

From the shop

We highly recommend a rivet-type master link on any street bike. Fitting one takes a chain riveting tool, which you can buy from us in the shop, or we can install your chain and sprockets for you.
