Standard but high quality?

Number of links on the OEM made it easy to work without the need for a cut.
The quality is naturally fine. View detail

4/5

Plating is beautiful.

I usually use su LEAD, but since KRT sa pliers, I put it on 10R.
It is heavier than the OEMs LEAD, although it may be a terrible comparison since the price is almost twice as much.
Even the pins and rollers (which peel off easily) are plated and appear to be highly corrosion resistant.
It is not matte but glossy plating.
Durability is unknown as it was just replaced. View detail

4/5

Comparison with OEM fat

Chosen to replace the OEM fat pad on the ZX-10R because it is sponsored by KRT.

The weight of 116L is about 2390g, and the price is almost twice as much, so it's terrible to compare them, but we recognized the overwhelming light weight of the fat material again.
The plating process is likely to contribute to maintaining the condition of the pin because the pin rusts easily if maintenance is neglected even with a plated chain, while the roller seems to peel off with use. Plating process seems to contribute to maintain the condition.
The gold color is bright and shiny, so it's quite flashy. If I had chosen gold even for the sprocket, it would have looked vulgar, so I combined it with ISA with a bronze collar.
This color scheme seems to be a favorite of different tastes.
I don't know how it feels to use, since I also changed the number of Sprocket pins, but it did not feel as heavy as the weight difference when I idled it.

It has just been replaced so durability has not yet been evaluated. View detail

Get it for $9,000. That's a Gold amount right there!

I have been interested in this product for some time and purchased it.
I bought it because it was on sale when I was thinking of replacing my EK Gold, which had been used for about 38,000 km and was starting to make strange noises.
To be honest, I would buy a well-known manufacturer's product in Chain with Plating on it if it were cheaper, but I bought SUNSTAR because it was well written about.
I am hoping to have it for 40,000 km.
Incidentally, Sprocket is not SUNSTAR, so it may not be 120% effective. View detail

Gold chain good

Before the replacement, I was using another manufacturer's gold chain, but it was a chain that was partially gold, but the RK GV525R-XW is all gold, which is great. View detail

Pin rusts

[How is it used?
The normal chain tends to rust and is a hassle to maintain, but most of the customized motorcycles use a plate chain, so I've been longing for...
I was wondering how long it would be before the OEM was ruined, so I replaced it as soon as possible.

Was the one you received as per Image?
Rust prevention? I'm not sure if it's to prevent rust or not, but the new one had a white grease like substance all over it that was quite large and strange to remove.

Was the installation difficult?
I didn't have the tools I needed, so I asked Shop to help me with Sprocket.

How was your experience with it?
The impression is quite different from NORMAL. (laughs).
The plated part of the chain is less likely to rust, so maintenance is not as time-consuming as with the NORMAL chain.

[Included Parts:were they on?
It came with two RK Stickers, so I attached them to the Swing Arm.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I heard that Plating chain is rust-free and easy to maintain, so I replaced the new OEM chain.
In the end, it was easier than NORMAL, but required regular cleaning and application of oil to prevent Rust. View detail

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

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

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

I don't know how durable it is.

Expensive but satisfying high end

I love my vehicle, but I can't help but put off maintenance for later. It is.

Me too, me too. If this is the case for you, I would recommend RK's X-XWSeries.
Of course, it is a Gold Seal Chain, which is different from the non-seal or steel chain. It doesn't rust in comparison to other motorcycles, and the chain extension is also incomparable. I feel it's very durable.

I'm sure it would last longer with more maintenance, but in a way. I think the longest lasting Chain without maintenance is the strongest. In that sense, 200,000 miles, oil jugs count, ChainAdjust is a Tire replacement. It's almost sufficient only when the engine is running. By the way, it is not low Engine Displacement Volume but 750cc. I've put on various chains such as DID and RK, but although the gold amount is high, it's not as high as it should be. Large Motorcycles are the only choice for RK. View detail

Pin will rust, but otherwise it's OK

20,000 km used I wanted to make the Chain in Black, which is less visible, so I replaced it as soon as possible I don't know if it is damaged or not because I'm an amateur There was some grease left on the Pin of the Piece that I cut off View detail

It is more Gold than Black

What made you decide to buy? I drove 9,500km from the new car, but the OEM chain that is installed from the beginning is still a good idea I decided on this Daido Gold chain because I feel unreliable and insecure about it
How was your experience with it? After all, it can be a Motorcycle Dress-up, and the Motorcycle is a It's black, so Gold is a nice touch
Was the installation difficult? ：【Please tell me the installation point and hang】： [Was the Instruction Manual easy to understand? The details were getting old and old-eyed, so we asked Motorcycle Shop to do it The labor charge was 10,000 yen [Included Parts:were they on? Rivet Joint was attached to it
[Others] It is Chain that has been bothering me for some time, but it became conspicuous for the first time in exchange for Gold, and I was relieved to see that it is not a problem I'm happy to be out touring 。 View detail

It sucks

This is a replacement from a cheap OEM Chain I really wanted to replace it right away, but it was a waste of money, so I held out for 10,000 miles
I still think Seal is better, it's heavier and not lighter in weight, but it seems to have reduced rolling friction Push and feel light
You can run 20,000 miles without worrying about it! View detail
