Installation Guide

Difficulty Medium
Est. Time 1 hr 0 min

Tools Required

  • socket set (8-19mm)
  • chain breaker tool
  • torque wrench
  • chain lube
  • rubber mallet

Pro Tips

  • Break in new chain by riding easy first 100 miles, re-lube after. Use thread locker on sprocket bolts. Measure chain slack at tightest point (1-1.25 inches slack typical).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Incorrect chain routing
  • Not torquing sprocket bolts properly (spec: 40-45 ft-lbs)
  • Over-lubricating chain

Comparison vs Stock/OEM

OEM chains stretch quickly and lack sealing; stock sprockets wear fast under abuse

Improvements

  • Higher tooth count for low-end torque
  • X-ring chain lasts 2-3x longer
  • Hardened steel resists wear
  • Narrower 520 chain reduces weight by ~20%

Considerations

  • Lower gearing may reduce top speed slightly

Durability & Warranty

Expected Lifespan Chain: 2,000-5,000 miles; sprockets: 10,000+ miles with proper maintenance
Warranty 1 year limited manufacturer warranty against defects
Maintenance Clean and lube chain every 200-300 miles; check slack weekly; replace if stretched >1%
