KSR80 Chain replacement

This time, I changed the wheel of KSR80 to KSR1 So I changed the chain as well as the sprocket.
After examining the price etc. while considering Enuma etc. and other manufacturers, I selected this MAJOR product.
I bought the 110LINK instead of the OEM 108LINK because the previous owner said he was increasing the number of knives on the previous Sprocket. I did.
As a result, it was a little long, but there was no problem to adjust.
Chain which had become dirty by Grease is cleaned up, and it is refreshing.
Durability is still to come View detail

Cool and long lasting

Installed on Initial ModelGSX1300R HAYABUSA

RK's X-XWSeries electrodeposition coating MODEL is claimed to have surface treatment on all Product Contents that touch the Large on the ManufacturerHP, so I think that RK's X-XWSeries electrodeposition coating I believe that the color is the strongest.

In fact, I've used it for about 30000km at this point, and although there are parts where the black paint has faded a little due to frequent cleaning of the chain, I can't see any rust and it still looks good.

The Gold Chain is also good, but if you combine it with the Aluminum Sprocket, you will notice the difference in color of the Gold.
In this respect, BlackChain is a good fit.

I left the installation to Dealer.
It costs quite a lot of money, but it is a very difficult job to do by yourself.
Since a mistake in the drive system can directly affect your life, we strongly recommend that you study the contents carefully and have an experienced person present when you do it yourself.
It may be cheaper to buy them through mail order and take them to a motorcycle shop, even if you have to pay a little extra for the work.

Also, it is not limited to this Chain, but when it is new, Grease is applied like an enemy of the parent, so if you leave it as it is, Grease will fly furiously for a while.
It is recommended to clean it with Chain cleaner immediately after assembly.
(This is not the case if you are using a high viscosity lube that is ready to splatter.) View detail

Excellent rust protection!

At 23,000 I could see the stretch so I replaced it.
I think I've got it pretty good.
I am very satisfied with the replacement because of its rust resistance and beautiful finish.
Black is a paint finish, so plates that rub against the Chain Slider will peel off.
Maybe Gold would have been better? View detail

GV Series Gold Chain GV525R-XW

5/5

Changed from OEM Chain at 22,000km

Since the mileage exceeded 20,000km, Chain and Sprocket were replaced at the same time.
Chain→RK [GV525R-XW] Number of LINK:114
X.A.M [Front]. 16T [Rear 45
I replaced it with OEM tooth number, so I don't feel much change.
It was necessary to adjust the chain because it stretched at the beginning of driving.
After that, it doesn't stretch out and runs light.
If you skip ChainMaintenance
It's such a great shade of Gold that it loses a lot of its goodness.
It's for people who do maintenance frequently! View detail

Conversion to 520Chain

NORMALThis is a conversion from 530Chain to 520Chain.
The weight is much lighter.
The chain movement is heavy, even if you turn the wheel immediately after the change, it feels quite heavy and there is a sense of resistance.
It was easy to work with because the pin to caulk the chain was sealed in Vinyl with Grease applied.
As for how it felt to drive, I think the STD SizeChain was pretty tired, but the running noise seemed pretty quiet.
I know it weighs less, and I may be making an assumption, but it seems to me that the Rear is lighter.
It also feels like it has less resistance and moves lighter.
After about 30km of break-in driving, I could hardly notice any Chain extension due to initial acclimation.
It may need a little more driving to get the initial acclimation.
After driving and turning the Wheel, there still seems to be some resistance in the Chain.
The Grease applied to the Chain is quite colLeverte.
When I wiped it lightly with Chain cleaner, the movement of Wheel became better.
As I get more comfortable with it, it will move more lightly.
I think it was good to be able to refresh the drive system, and the color of the Chain became Black, so it became cool.
I'm satisfied View detail

When I go for a walk.

I dissolve it in water and put it in a plastic bottle and hang it around my waist and carry it with me when I go for a walk. Since I started taking it every day without fail, the pain in my legs and knees has disappeared. View detail

GV Series Gold Chain GV520X-XW

It does not contain Grease to be applied to the JOYN.

The Grease applied to the Joint was not included.
Upon unpacking, I found that the Chain box was open and showed signs of having been opened.

I just contacted WeBike.
As for the Grease, we have confirmed that it is shipped from the supplier in the state that it is painted on the Chain, and it is not attached separately.

The answer was
This response to the lack of contents; are you a Manufacturer or a Webike?
In any case, I'm annoyed at the response for not knowing things too well. View detail

Grease is not in.

When I opened the Corrugated cardboard of the packaging, I found that the Corrugated cardboard of the Chain was open and the Chain was showing its face.
There is no Grease when I start to install that there is no problem in quality.
Joint was in, though.
I had some leftover grease from last time, so I managed to install it.

If the box is empty, be careful.
But what kind of management does Webike have? View detail

BlackPlating will peel off little by little

Because our Motorcycle is Matte Black, we can replace the Chain with Timing.
I chose BlackChain because I wanted to make the chain black as well.
As for the usage, Wet is not run basically, and it is cleaned and lubricated with Chain Cleaner about once a month.
It's a good thing that BlackPlating has been around for less than half a year. It begins to be broken.
With this, I felt that I should have used the standard Silver instead of Black. View detail

Black to keep your feet tight!

I replaced the silver chain with a black chain and the sprocket with a black chain. The replacement work was done by DID's "Chain Cut & Crimp tool I was able to do the warping work normally. However, if the ChainPlate is scratched during the crazing process, the undercoat will be visible and somewhat noticeable.
The function of the chain is smooth, as expected from RK. 500km later, the chain felt a little loose, so I adjusted it.
The chain pin and the roller are gold, but the roller is in contact with the sprocket, so the gold on the surface will peel off. I feel that this is not necessary to be gold in the first place. If it gets dirty, it will stand out unexpectedly. View detail

RK's Flagship Chain

Installed on a GSX-R1000R 2019

By the way, OEM Size is
Front Sprocket:17T
Rear Sprocket:45 guns
Chain：525-120LINK
It is
(In RK's HP, it is 116LINK, but it is 120LINK. As of July, 2009)
(It seems that the conformation information of Webike's product Page is also wrong. As of July, 2009)

RK's X-XWSeries electrodeposition coating MODEL is claimed to have surface treatment on all Product Contents that touch the Large on the ManufacturerHP, so I think that RK's X-XWSeries electrodeposition coating I believe that the color is the strongest.
As a result of worrying about Gold or Black based on this, I chose Gold out of curiosity to try Gold Pica because it is SS.

SUNSTAR's Aluminum Sprocket (Champagne gold) The colors are quite different.

Also, it is not limited to this Chain, but when it is new, Grease is applied like an enemy of the parent, so if you leave it as it is, Grease will fly furiously for a while.
It is recommended to clean it with Chain cleaner immediately after assembly.
(This is not the case if you are using a high viscosity lube that is ready to splatter.)

The following is a reference for those who aspire to do their own exchange.
Rivet Joint and enclosed Grease were included. (120LINK) 。
The press fit/crimp dimensions for the 525XXW are below. If you are worried about doing it by hand feeling, prepare Caliper.
Plate press-fit:Pin allowance after press-fit is 1.3mm
Pin diameter after crimp:5.55 - 5.65mm
・GSX-R1000 (L7 and later) If you want to replace the Sprocket at the same time with the Sprocket fixed Nut, you should ask for the Nut as well, because the Service Manual says that the Sprocket fixed Nut is not reusable. View detail

Chain replacement is Recommendation before talking about horsepower!

MRU is suitable for endurance race, so it has durability for street riding, TRU is for SPRINT because of short life, and it is not for watchman because it needs small chain adjustment. MRU is the best choice for occasional circuit riding level. View detail
