Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will this chain fit an SP500 with aftermarket sprockets? A: Aftermarket sprockets can change the required chain length, so verify the link count against the current sprocket sizes before installing. If sprocket tooth counts differ from stock, a different link count may be needed.

Q: Does the chain come pre-lubricated? A: New chains typically carry a factory-applied rust-preventive coating rather than a running lubricant. Clean off the coating and apply proper chain lube before the first ride.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
