Blacking around Chain is completed.
What made you decide to buy?
However, after the start of the New Year 2024, I started to collect parts little by little and decided to do the customization that I had envisioned since last year… The contents of the customization were the replacement of the Front and Rear Sprocket and Chain. I purchased the RK BL Black Scale Series Chain BL520X-XW, which had been a favorite of mine for a long time because of its high evaluation in Impression, and waited for the spring sale.
[How was the installation?
To change the chain, you will need a racing stand to lift the rear tire and a tool to cut and caulk the chain. We recommend DID's Kashimaru-kun! This is also listed as a recommended tool in the 6R service manual. Originally, you need to cut a long chain to do the work, but you can buy the chains we carry at Webic in the number of links you need. This was the second time for us to replace the seal chain, and we thought we had gotten used to cutting and caulking the chain, but the chain is an important safety part of a motorcycle. We did not let up until the work was completed, checking the chain over and over again.
How was your experience with it?
RKBlack scaleSeriesChain is not painted but coated with BLACK electrodeposition. Brass plating is applied to the pins and rollers to prevent rusting. The contrast between black lacquer and gold enhances the custom feel. The SUNSTARRACINGSteel rear sprocket was also replaced at the same time, so the custom look around the chain has been enhanced.

Smooth running
I bought this for my YZF-R25 and brought it in to Motorcycle shop to have it replaced. I had used it before, so regular maintenance will extend its durability. The ride feels smooth. The color is a nice, calm gold, and I think it's a good color. View detail

Used for Ninja250SLCircuitSpec.
I used it on my Ninja 250SL with CircuitSpec. It is definitely better than the OEM Chain that was originally installed.
Since it is a RACINGChain, its durability is not as good as it is now. It is a RACINGChain, so its durability is not so good at present.

Replaced
When I bought a used Motorcycle, the Chain had rust in some places and needed to be replaced, so I considered whether to use the Gold color or not and decided to use this color and Spec. My Motorcycle is a 108LINK, so I bought a 110LINK and cut it to 108LINK and installed it because it is +4000 yen more expensive than the 110LINK when purchased from webike. View detail

Excellent quality Extremely durable.
I have used these chains in the past and they seem to hold up fairly well ! I ride in very muddy conditions which are hard on most any chain and this one usually holds up well for a whole season of very harsh conditions ! So far, I have had over 5000km, mostly dirt, and balls out at that. I have only adjust once, and that was mostly chain guide wear, not chain. Inspected the master, and the grease was perfect inside the uw-ring/bushings. The Uw rings touch the plates in two spots where an Oring only touches in one. they keep the factory grease in and the dirt out. I only oil the chain to keep it from rusting on the outside. they do not seem to kink like a lot of chains do. NEVER use a power washer in the chain area though. we clean the bike with a simple water hose, a bucket of soapy water and brushes 99% of the time.They last forever as long as you clean with the hose or after each ride and then hit with some Lube after it dries. You need this and do not know it. I researched and determined this is one of the best products for me. I am glad I purchased and would recommend for any friend, you may not be my friend but you can take the recommendation if you like.Fast shipping as always too Have a great day.BUY THIS CHAIN !!!

Plating chain for the first time
[Usage] The O-ring on the Chain has been cut off, Plating chain I was wondering if the theory I saw on the Net that Chain oil is not necessary is true? I wanted to try it out and was looking for it on the Net. BlackChain." I bought it because the color of the "Lacquer" felt like lacquer and matched the gold color of the "Pin" and it looked shiny.
[What we received]. It was just as Image.
[Was it difficult to install] The work was simple, but the part of press fitting ChainPlate into Pin and Crimping Pin was careful work, so it was more Large strange than I expected.
How did you like it? The ride quality is the same as before the replacement and is normal. The appearance is not flashy, but it is calm and has a top ranking upgraded atmosphere.
Was "Included Parts:" attached? It was on with no problems.
[Disappointment. If I had to say, the weight, although it is not an exact measurement, is about Plus20g more than the Normal chain before the replacement. BlackChain." was a heavy result, so I expect it to be as heavy as the Normal chain.

It is different from OEM.
Nearly 2,000 kilometers after purchasing the new car, three-point Quantity:I replaced it with a set
It looks better, unlike OEMSteel, as well as performs better.
I would like to use it for a long time with proper and regular maintenance.

Key to driving force transmission
Replaced an OEM Chain with 13,000km on it, work was done by Shop.
I bought 120 LINK and have it cut to 116.
Compared to the OEM Steel, the Gold color is more prominent and makes the footwear more gorgeous.
Chain lube should be colorless, such as WAKOS or Bell Hammer.
The first thing I felt was the difference in low speed driving.
When taking to the road after refueling at a service station, I was making a slow turn in first gear and noticed that I was doing almost no Axel maneuvering. (I was able to drive at very low speeds with the GSX250R in an almost Idling state)
The difference in the state where power is not produced is probably more pronounced because of the reduction in Chain-derived Friction loss.
Recommended for replacement/upgrade from OEMChain.

I've been using it for about 3 years and it still looks good!
About three years since the exchange in 2020.
The mileage is about 20,000 km, but there are no sticking pins and only a little peeling of the plating on the edge of the plate.
There are some Manufacturers that I am interested in, such as ThreeD and DID, but I have been using RK for a long time, so I just kind of keep using it.
If you can hold it for another thousand kilometers or so..,

Too bad …
I bought it because it was listed as compatible from MyMotorcycle registration, but the 104L was incorrect, the official version was 106L.
I placed the order again, but this Chain will be stocked for the opportunity to change the reduction ratio in the future, but I was very disappointed that it could not be completed that day!

Reliable Brand
Used on Ninja 250R for Circuit.
I have used Chain from various manufacturers, including foreign ones, and have never been dissatisfied with RK.
Hence, I was able to buy with peace of mind.
This time, I chose this Chain for Circuit, ignoring durability and prioritizing low resistance.
I had heard Mr. RK Ichikawa talk about this Grade at the Events booth and was curious about it.
I don't know how durable it is since I have only run it once, but I plan to replace it in 1Season (time management).
I dare say that RKChain has a lot of Grease applied at the time of shipment, so wiping off the Grease is Large strange.
This is the only place I have always been dissatisfied lol.

Stick to Black
520Chainfor Conversion selected this product.
Longer by 10% compared to OEM.
I thought acceleration would be sluggish, but Friction loss must have decreased.
It feels like a slippery forward motion. It is clearly lighter.
This is a reference opinion since the old and new reduction ratios are not the same.
The interference between the Chain and Swing Arm has been resolved by raising the Front 2 arms and the Rear 1 arm.
