Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Vortex performance chains come pre-stretched and X-ring sealed for immediate use and longevity.
No, this is a clip-style clipmaster link for easy installation. Rivet tool sold separately if needed.
Check bolt patterns; standard 4-bolt pattern. May require verification for non-stock carriers.
Typically 14F/42R vs stock 14F/38-40R, providing lower gearing for better low-end torque.
Installation Guide
Tools Required
- chain breaker tool
- socket set
- torque wrench
- chain lube
- rubber mallet
Pro Tips
- Clean and inspect swingarm bearings during install
- Use thread locker on sprocket bolts
- Break in chain by varying RPMs first 100 miles
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Incorrect chain routing
- Not torquing sprocket bolts properly
- Over-lubing chain
Comparison vs Stock/OEM
Aftermarket alloy steel sprockets and sealed X-ring chain vs OEM standard O-ring or non-sealed chain
Improvements
- 30-40% higher tensile strength chain
- Harder sprockets resist wear/hook-up
- Narrower chain width for less drag
- Custom gearing options for torque gains
Considerations
- Lower final drive ratio accelerates faster but reduces top speed
