Good To Know

Q: Does this chain come with a master link? A: A master link is included so the chain can be joined and adjusted on the machine. Confirm the link count matches your current setup before installing.

Q: How should a standard roller chain be maintained? A: Clean and lubricate it regularly, especially after muddy or wet rides, and check tension before each session. This type has no internal seals, so consistent lubrication matters more than with an O-ring chain.

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