YZ250F

Bradley in NY

Comments On Apr 08, 2013:This chain is awesome. I'm into my second season on it, it still looks new. It stretched nicely for the first few rides, then it didn't need much more adjustment.

Great Chain

Ronald in PA – Machine this part was bought for: 2012 KAWASAKI KX450F

Comments On Feb 25, 2013:Great Chain, I have always bought this chain, in fact the only time I didn't was on my '06 YZ450F and the chain snapped (not at the master link either) and went right through the cases. Spend the money and get this chain!!!!!!

Good chain but wears quickly

mike in NH

Comments On Oct 16, 2009:Good quality chain. But wears out very quick compared to a DID and is also a little heavier. I take meticulous care of my chains and clean after each ride and it still wore out telly quick.

Overated!! but not bad

Chris in IL

Comments On Jul 20, 2009:I ran this chain on my 07 KX 250f fot mx only, and for the price I was expecting much more...its not a bad chain at all, in fact its much better than OEM or the DID standard 520 chain but for the money there is better stuff out there

excellent!

ADAM in NY

Comments On Jul 19, 2009:great chain, stretched a little on my 05 rm 250 after some serious riding. p.s dont use a chain wax on this chain..go with a klotz, motoul, or primary drive lube
and theres a little rust spots but you can clean those off no problem with the proper lube and cleaning

GREAT CHAIN SO FAR

frank in IL

Comments On Mar 25, 2009:I bought this chain a month ago and raced 24 motos with it so far. HAVEN'T TIGHTENED IT YET! now that's impressive. I would only buy a different chain if it was lighter. The only bad thing i can say is a little heavier than expected but for the price great buy....

David in TX

Comments On Dec 11, 2008:I had to go middle of the road on cost and I feel I got a good value with this Renthal 520 R-1 Works Chain. After installing there was very, very little stretch! I only had to adjust once when I installed it.

good chain

ERNEST in PA

Comments On Sep 03, 2008:good overall chain it barley streched. the down side is the masterlink. The masterlink needs pressed together then once thats done you don't have to worry about that sucker coming off! but it is hard to get off when you want it off. i would have rated this a 5 but the master link brings it to a 4. it shouldn't be a problem if you have a chain breaker.
