Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will this O-ring chain fit an RM500 with aftermarket sprockets? A: Aftermarket sprockets can change the required chain length, so check the link count against the current sprocket sizes before ordering. If tooth counts differ from stock, a different chain length may be needed.

Q: How should an O-ring chain be maintained? A: Clean it with a chain-safe cleaner rather than harsh solvents that can damage the seals, then apply O-ring compatible lube. Proper care keeps the seals intact and extends chain life.

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