Monotone's Motorcycle with goal coloring
I chose VX3 because I thought it was time to replace the chain on my new car due to rust and sticking. I was very satisfied with the color, as it gives a strong presence to the Monotone Motorcycle. At least compared to Steel, the new Chain is smooth and comfortable. Although I did not replace the Sprocket this time, I will consider doing so in the near future. View detail
New is good.
[How is it used?
I was looking for a gold plated seal chain for my ZX-7R, and I was looking for a moderately priced one, and I came across this Chain.
Rivet Joint (CLF) and Clip joint (CL) The Crimp is a bit of a hassle, but I chose the Crimp because I was afraid to use a 750cc Clip with light pressure.
Was the one you received as per Image?
I have DID gold chains on my RM and CUB that I usually ride. It is always a familiar shine.
Was the installation difficult?
Grinder blows up the dying Chain Crimp that was originally attached to it.

Strike the Graver with the Seal section.

Plate is blown and Cut is completed.
You can use CrimpTool to press Pin, but it's a pain in the ass to break or something, so ….
Crimp used DRC's Chain tool PRO 420-520 Aluminum Cut/Rivet (https://www.webike.net/sd/22054739/) I used this tool. It is quite easy to use. It is also reasonably priced.
How was your experience with it?
The OEM Chain was rusty and kinked and quite resistant to push/pull, but now I can get it to work.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Rivet Joint is included.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
None so far. I would be happy with the durability.

When crimping, use the Caliper to measure the width of the Chain and the crushed width of the Pin, and tighten the Chain little by little to avoid mistakes.

The Rivet Joint was defective.
I bought it during the Spring Sale and opened it with high hopes.
When I installed it smoothly, I couldn't install it at the last minute because the Joint was not Rivet Joint.
Fortunately, I consulted with a nearby motorcycle shop and brought it in and had them install the Joint Parts separately.
I shudder to think that someone who is not familiar with chain installation bought this and started driving.
If you have any doubts after opening the package, we recommend that you contact your manufacturer or motorcycle shop immediately.

expectation
Gold is still beautiful.
Last time I learned from Non-Seal Chain, so I have high expectations for this one.
I recommend DIDChain, which I have used for many years in my motorcycle life.

Clip joint was in there without a Clip.
It was not Rivet Joint, but Clip joint was put in the state without Clip, when I applied Grease, I did not notice that there was no depression in Shaft at the stage of Crimp. I managed to install it safely. View detail
