[How is it used?
I used it on my MainMotorcycle XJR1300C.
This time, we chose 520ZVM-X since we converted to 520Size.
Compatible Engine Displacement Volume is up to 1200cc, but is it Large sturdy? Well, I don't think it is a problem.
I used the same Chain when I was riding CBR1000RRFull power, which has more Power and Torque than XJR.
Chain is designed for strength with a large margin, so it can be used without problems.
I'm sure that NORMAL XJR is a piece of cake.
Front sprocket is SUNSTAR's Item number:395-18
The Rear Sprocket is the ISA's Y-23-40.
Chain link count can be installed with 112 LINKs. This makes Final almost the same as OEM.
It will be just a little bit long, so it's up to you.
Was the one you received as per Image?
Silver plating as per Image?
All the plates are properly plated both on the back and the front.
The DID BlackChain was rejected because it has Black Painting only where it can be seen, and the inside of the Plate is Steel rounded out.
Was the installation difficult?
Chain replacement is not difficult at all with Kashimaru-kun.
How was your experience with it?
The Chain DID run more than 100 km, but it is a good Chain with almost no initial elongation.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Rivet Joint and assembly grease are included.
The new Chain was always sticky with Grease, but the Grease was much less.
This is good because I no longer have to scrub and wipe. The included Grease looks a little different too.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
The 530 Size and 525 Size are now available in the ZVM-X2 New Model, while the 530 Size and 525 Size are available in the ZVM-X2 New Model.
Why is there no new model for 520Size, Mr. Daido?
I'll be waiting in anticipation.

Manufacturer for Peace of Mind
After purchasing it here, I had it replaced at a Motorcycle shop nearby. The last time I replaced it, it lasted about 27,000 km on a VX3 of the same manufacturer with a top ranking. We know from the last Chain that the silver plating of this Manufacturer is solid. Black and gold chains seem to be in fashion these days, but silver plating is more suitable for a motorcycle that is closer to the classic style. I would like to break in the new Chain until the initial elongation after the replacement. View detail

It's been about 20 years since Chain replacement.
It was easy because it did not require initial lubrication.
Select the standard installation Manufacturer.

I like it because it's more austere than Gold.
[How is it used?
I used it for my HORNET 900.
OEM is 525 Size, so it is 520Conversion.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The color is exactly as shown in the picture, not too glaringly silver with a dull shine.
Was the installation difficult?
The only special tool used is the Chain Tool, which is easy.
How was your experience with it?
The HORNET 900 has a characteristic of wobbling at low speed, but after changing to this Chain, I feel that it has been reduced by about 20%.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
The Plate is treated with Plating so it does not rust easily, but the Pin and Roller usually rust, so regular lubrication is necessary.

We'll see
I reconfigured it myself to buy it as a 520Conversion, definitely lighter than the 530 The durability is still to come, but from the other Impressions, I'm looking forward to it I will be replacing it with a SUNSTAR Sprocket at the same time I'm already happy to see this rear wheel spinning ^_^^ View detail
unaffected and sober
I've actually seen symptoms such as plate cracking on other manufacturers' chains but I chose it because I've never seen it on the DID chain
I've driven 6,000 miles since I installed it and it seems to have little elongation and is still useful
