Good To Know

Q: How do I know this chain fits my SR500? A: It matches the 530 pitch and 104 link count listed for the 1978 to 1981 SR500, but serial number differences can affect fitment so confirm against your machine before ordering.

Q: Does an O-ring chain need less maintenance than a standard chain? A: O-ring chains retain lubricant longer and resist dirt ingress, but they still need periodic adjustment and cleaning to keep performing well.

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