Motorcycle is now lighter.
Replacement is easy and effortless with the Chain Cut & Crimp tool.
Tire is lighter when turned by hand.
This is probably because Seal has less resistance than OEM.
Motorcycle push/pull has also been lightened.

gold plating
I really like the gold plating. Delivery was a little slower than expected due to customs clearance issues, but I am very happy to have purchased a chain of good quality.
It hasn't been installed yet, but I plan to slowly install it once I purchase the large and small gears.
I think it will go well if you purchase and install the Sunstar large gear -------------------------------------- -------------------- I like gold plating so much. The delivery was a bit slower than I thought due to customs clearance, but I am very happy to buy a good quality chain. It is still mounted, but if you buy waiting and small gear, it will be installed slowly. If you buy a sunstar waiting gear, it will look good. Powered by Google Translator

Obviously, it's lighter.
I replaced the VX3, also DID, with this ZVMX2 after about 11,000 km.
I had no complaints with the VX3, but this ZVMX2 clearly spins Wheel lighter than the VX3.
I went on a long touring trip immediately after replacing the Chain, and the highway on the way there was more comfortable than before replacing the Chain. I could feel the lightness of the Chain.
Until then, VX3 had also been well maintained and well wiped with rubs, so I think it is simply a difference in Chain performance.
The price is a little high, but if you consider the replacement of the chain as a custom-made product that improves performance rather than just a replacement of consumable parts, I think it is an inexpensive purchase.

There are a lot of messy parts.
First of all, when I try to install the Mirror Holder with only the Included Parts:, there are so many Mirror Holder mounting bolts, each corresponding to a different size, but all of them are long.
The hole depth is not deep enough for a normal Mirror Holder.
Also, the glue used to attach the mirror surface is on the body side, and although the shape is good for Parenthesis, it is an inferior product that only looks good.

For installation of YOSHIMURA Temp Sensor
Purchased for Sensor installation on YOSHIMURAProgress2.
YOSHIMURA also offers this product, but for some reason it is out of stock.
To remove the Motorcycle side, simply remove the sealing bolt and replace it with this one.
Since most of YOSHIMURAOEM's sensors are reddish anodized, this product, which is made of brass, is not so harsh, which is more convenient.
I really wanted to take it out from the side because taking it out from the drain bolt part would not allow the socket to be used, or it would be quenched by the rain on the road surface and would not give accurate readings.

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 is easier to understand the limits.
The Pad was replaced along with the Rear as the car had traveled about 12,000 km.
I think it has been running for about 700 km and has a bite, so I will review.
The Brakes themselves are variable and seem to slide and bite moderately.
Slipping sounds Negative, but it is now easier to drag when tipping down.
It is also clearly easier to understand the limits for Breaking from high speed ranges.
Another interesting byproduct was that the limitations of the GSX250R's Braking system became apparent.

Buy for Repair
[How is it used?
I originally used a YOSHIMURA water temperature gauge, but purchased it as a repair item because the Sensor's Wiring had been disconnected.
Was the one you received as per Image?
Since the sensor was originally attached, the shape, etc. were as per the Image.
I wonder if it was a problem with the ROD or the spec. at the time. In the Webig image, the Sensor part was red in color and the Connector part was black, but the product I received was gold in Sensor part and white in Connector part.
Although the color is different, I don't particularly care because I could use it without any problem.
Was the installation difficult?
Since it was a replacement for the sensor that was originally attached, we replaced it in the same way as removing and tightening the screws.
It happened that the coolant was replaced at the same time, so it was not that Large strange, but if you try to replace it without draining the coolant, it will be Large strange.
How was your experience with it?
Water temperatures that were not displayed are now displayed properly.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Sensor only.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
It is an exclusive product, but the price is higher than other companies' products.

DIDChain of Trust
DID 520VX3, Gold chain with 120 LINKs, CBR650F's chain size is originally 525, so this time it will be DownConversion. 118 LINKs, so it needs to be cut by 1 piece.
By the way, I have always decided to use DID when I do Chain exchange. This is because DID, RK, and EK have been the most responsive when I have communicated with their respective Supports regarding problems with the compatibility chart.
I see that 520VX3 is a MODEL that uses XRing instead of O-ring for Seal shape.
In terms of Category, ZVM-X is available on top of VX3 in the case of DID, but the thickness of the plate is thicker here, so it is stronger but heavier. Also, ZVM-X is said to be effective for models over 1000cc and for vehicles running on circuits, but we decided that ZVM-X is inappropriate for CBR650F, which is basically used only for touring, has an engine displacement volume of 650cc, and has no sharp output characteristics. We have decided that it is not suitable for CBR650F.
The 520VX3 has an applicable engine displacement volume of 250 to 800cc, and for the aforementioned reasons, we thought it would be just right for 650cc.
There are three types of plating:steel, silver plating, and gold plating. steel is bare and prone to rust, so it was not an option, but I could not tell the difference between silver and gold. I saw some people saying "choose by color," but I thought that was wrong because of the price difference, so I asked the manufacturer.
I was told that there is a difference between "Steel→Silver plating" and "Steel→Silver plating→Gold plating", and that Gold plating has a double layer of plating, so the plating layer is more durable. Gold plating has a double layer of plating, so the plating layer is more durable.
I would normally try to do the work myself, but I hear that Disk grinder costs around 5,000 yen, CrimpTool around 10,000 yen, and DID Crimp has a degree of difficulty. Even if I buy the tool, it will take 10 years or more to replace the chain next time, considering that it has been 9 years since the car was delivered and the chain has not been fully extended...? If I buy a tool, I might be able to do it by myself after 10 years...but I thought it would be better to ask a store to do it if the span is that long, so I asked Motorcycle shop this time. The labor cost was 11,000 yen including the replacement of the front and rear sprocket.
To be honest, I wondered if I would be able to really feel the Conversion since it is only 5mm wide. However, when I opened the Axel, I felt a slight improvement in the feel of the rpm or the acceleration (I can't deny the possibility of a brush-boost effect). (I can't deny the possibility of a Brush-bo effect.)
Also, at the same time, we are replacing the Rear sprocket with an OEM→SuperSprotex, so we can't deny the influence of this.
The only thing that remains is durability...I can't say anything about this until I continue to use it.

Vehicle Inspection Measures
NORMAL H4 will pass vehicle inspections, but for further peace of mind, 60W is labeled as equivalent to 100W.
Highly efficient Type was selected.
I measured the illuminance with a smartphone app and saw that it was up about 20%.
However, the H4 was used for years before replacement, and even if it is NORMAL, replacing it with a new one will pay for itself.
I also think it will increase illumination.
Because of its high efficiency, we are concerned about its durability and would like to evaluate it in the future.
