Good To Know

Q: Does this chain include a master link? A: Yes, a master link is included so you can install the chain on the XT500 without sourcing extra connecting hardware. Q: Does an O-ring chain need regular lubrication? A: O-ring chains hold lubricant inside the rollers longer than standard chains, but periodic cleaning and light lubrication still extend chain and sprocket life.
