Lasts a long time
JIM in TX – Machine this part was bought for: 2007 KTM 450 EXC 4-Stroke
Comments On Mar 13, 2013:I did quite a bit of "research" on the web. RK seems to last and most folks are happy with them. I have bought at least 8 over the last 5 years for different bikes. So if I keep coming back, something must be working. PLUS, I like having the same master-link on all the bikes in our group. it just makes life simpler... and that is a great thing.

Great Chain
David in AZ – Machine this part was bought for: 2005 HONDA CRF450X
Comments On Jan 27, 2013:Spent less money on the last chain and got what a paid for...junk! This chain has been awesome, no stretch and bomb proof so far. I have 4 desert races on it now and it still looks new. Haven't even needed to adjust between rides or tire changes. Will buy it again for sure if it ever wears out!

Looks great!
Andrew in PA – Machine this part was bought for: 2005 HONDA TRX 450R
Comments On Jan 02, 2013:This chain was a good buy. It looks great and feels nice. The one main problem which made this product lost a star was because of the master link. I put this chain on with a pair of pliers and it was a pain because it seemed like they wanted you to squeeze the master link together, and you need a special tool for that. I did this with vice grips, BUT IT SAYS NOT TO USE THEM ON THE PAKAGE, SO I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT, but i managed to do it without binding the chain. I wold look up how to loosen the chain for your tav if you get this, it helps a lot. NOTE: stock trx450r and many other HONDA chains DO NOT HAVE a master link. Just cut it off in between the links. Then you can use the master link to put the old chain back on if the new chain happens to break.

Seems Good
Ash in VIC
Comments On Jun 14, 2012:Fitted to 2007 KTM 450 EXC. Does what it says it will. Have only had it on the bike for 100kms. Didn't really stretch at all on the first ride. Seems to be well made. Comes with clip type link which has a different shaped side plate that looks like it might prodent the clip from wearing into a super sharp razor blade.

master link
Jason in CO
Comments On Apr 06, 2012:Just got the chain, so cant say much other than installing the master link took forever. I even bought a tusk chain press. Was unbelievably hard. Its hard to tell if the closed end seated 100% in the groove. Guess I'll find out...

Tough install
Phillip in AZ
Comments On Mar 31, 2012:Make sure you have a press tool before you start to install this chain. All I had was a couple pairs of plyers which made installing the masterlink on this chain very difficult.

Chad in MO
Comments On Dec 19, 2011:This chain has lasted a long time. It's one of the best chains out there. After having a bad experience with a D.I.D. chain, I switched to this one and won't mess with anything else.

great!!
jason in OR
Comments On Dec 15, 2011:Used this chain on 2005 rm 250, fit great for a o ring style chain. went out on a nasty trail ride (80 miles) mud, ice, snow. was stoked when i got back to the truck and checked the chain, it didnt even stretch one bit(thats a first for me). I combined the RK xw-ring with a ironman sproket rear and a supersprox front. good price for a x ring chain! Rocky mountain rocks!! fast shipping

Get What You Pay for
JOEL in CA
Comments On Dec 28, 2010:Stretched considerably during inital use needing a few adjustments. Quality seems almost comparable to higher priced chains. Comes heavily pre-lubed with a very tacky grease. Cant be beat for the price but recommend spend more and get a higher quality chain like DID x-ring.

Super Chain!
Robert in OH
Comments On Aug 19, 2008: This is by far the best chain for the buck. I put this on my 660 Raptor (and we all know that the 660 can streach a chain out in a minute)and rode hard for about 5 hrs, came home and did not need to adjust it. My previous chain needed adjusting after every ride.

Bad fit on my 06' RMZ450
JOSEPH in TX
Comments On Aug 13, 2008:I tried putting this chain on my 06' RMZ450 with Pro Taper front and rear sprockets. The chain rivets were touching case :S I double checked the install and the chain was just a little to wide to make it past the case without touching :(

great chain, but overkill for a 400ex
TIM in OR
Comments On Jul 08, 2008:This chain was still in very good shape even after the steel sprockets were about to fall apart. The chain is tough for sure. But a 400ex with after market exhaust, jet kit, and air filter doesn't need it.

no more stretch
JOHN in OH
Comments On Oct 25, 2007:I have 2 of these one on my 450 and one on my 350 and neither of them have been adjusted but the first time, sprockets are showing no signs of wear for a whole season. My 350 has over 3,000 miles on it since I replaced. My 450 WR has 200 miles of abuse in sand and dirt and grit from southern Ohio riding.
