Frequently Asked Questions
The chain comes pre-assembled but requires tension and alignment adjustment during installation. Check your model's service manual for specs.
No, this is forward gearing only. Confirm sprocket tooth count matches your setup (14F/42R standard).
X-Ring provides better sealing, less friction, and longer life than standard O-Ring chains.
Not recommended. Mismatched sprockets cause premature wear. Replace as a kit.
Installation Guide
Tools Required
- chain breaker tool
- socket set
- torque wrench
- master link pliers
Pro Tips
- Use a chain alignment tool for proper sprocket alignment
- Apply chain lube sparingly after 100 miles
- Torque sprocket nuts to spec (usually 40-50 ft-lbs)
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Incorrect chain tension adjustment
- Not cleaning old sprockets before install
- Over-lubing new chain
Comparison vs Stock/OEM
Aftermarket kit uses stronger 1045 steel sprockets and sealed X-ring chain vs. OEM roller chain
Improvements
- 15-20% higher tensile strength
- Reduced weight (lighter than stock)
- Better heat dissipation and sealing for high-torque use
- Improved acceleration from gearing ratio
Considerations
- Higher initial cost
- May require gearing adjustment for top speed
