Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Do I need to replace the sprockets at the same time? A: Replacing sprockets alongside a new chain is recommended because worn teeth accelerate chain stretch. If the current sprockets show hooked or pointed teeth, install new ones with this chain.

Q: How do I confirm the 108-link count is right for my bike? A: The 108-link count matches the 520-108 drive chain spec called out for the 1981 to 1982 IT465. Verify your current chain length and rear sprocket size before ordering to confirm the fit.

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