Full details
The DID 520 ATV2 Gold & Black drive chain is an essential upgrade for ATV and quad riders operating machines up to 750 cc who demand reliable power transfer and extended component longevity. Featuring advanced X-Ring technology, this chain provides superior lubrication retention and reduced friction, though users should ensure their specific engine displacement does not exceed the recommended 750 cc threshold to avoid premature wear.

FAQs
Can I use this on a 800 cc ATV?
No, this chain is specifically rated for ATVs up to 750 cc. Using it on higher displacement machines can lead to chain failure.
Does the chain come with a master link?
Yes, each unit includes a reliable FJ clip joint for easy installation.
What is the benefit of X-Ring over O-Ring?
X-Ring seals provide two lubrication pools per link, resulting in better lubrication retention and less friction than standard O-Rings.
How often should I lubricate the chain?
Lubricate the chain every 300-500 miles, or immediately after riding in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions.
Is the FJ clip joint secure for racing?
The FJ clip is designed for general ATV use. For high-intensity competitive racing, some riders prefer to consult their technician about rivet-style master links.
Troubleshooting
Chain develops excessive slack quickly
Check if the sprockets are worn and replace both the chain and sprockets as a set if necessary.
Stiff links identified during maintenance
Clean the area thoroughly and apply chain lubricant, working the link back and forth until it moves freely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, verify that your ATV or quad drivetrain uses a 520 pitch chain. Ensure your sprockets are in good condition, as installing a new chain on worn, hooked sprocket teeth will lead to rapid chain failure. To maintain the chain, clean it using a soft brush and a dedicated chain cleaner every few rides, followed by the application of a high-quality motorcycle-specific chain lubricant. Periodically check the tension according to your vehicle's service manual to prevent excess strain on the output shaft bearings.
