Product Information
Full details
The JT 520 Pitch HDR Heavy Duty Motorcycle Chain in Gold/Black (112 Links) is designed for riders of smaller-capacity bikes (up to 200cc street/dual-purpose, 250cc motocross/ATV) seeking reliable power transfer for everyday riding, dual-purpose, motocross, and ATV use. Its key benefit is enhanced durability and consistent power delivery through its high-durability HDR construction and solid-bush engineering. A potential caveat is its capacity limit, making it unsuitable for high-performance or larger displacement engines.

FAQs
What is the maximum engine size this chain is recommended for?
This chain is recommended for engines up to 200cc for street and dual-purpose bikes, and up to 250cc for motocross and ATV applications.
Is this chain suitable for high-performance sportbikes?
No, this chain is designed for heavy-duty use on smaller-capacity bikes and is not recommended for high-performance sportbikes or engines exceeding its specified capacity limits.
What does '520 Pitch' mean?
The '520 Pitch' refers to the standard measurement of the chain's link spacing. It dictates the size of the sprockets the chain is compatible with.
How often should I lubricate the chain?
It is recommended to lubricate the chain every 300-500 miles, or more frequently if riding in wet or dusty conditions, after washing the motorcycle, or after riding off-road.
Can I install this chain myself?
While possible with the correct tools and knowledge, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended to ensure proper fitment, length, and safety.
What is the advantage of 'Solid-Bush Engineering'?
Solid-bush engineering improves internal load distribution and reduces wear across the chain's moving points, contributing to longer service intervals and more efficient operation.
What is the difference between this chain and a standard motorcycle chain?
This chain features 'High-Durability HDR Construction' with reinforced steel side plates and hardened components, offering increased tensile strength compared to standard chains, making it better suited for demanding routine use within its capacity.
Troubleshooting
Chain is noisy or stiff
Ensure the chain is properly lubricated and free from dirt or debris. Check for any kinks or damaged links. Re-lubricate and clean thoroughly.
Premature stretching or wear
Verify the chain is the correct type and capacity for your motorcycle. Ensure proper installation and correct chain tension. Check for excessive dirt or grit in the drivetrain.
Chain does not fit the sprocket correctly
Confirm that you have the correct 520 pitch chain and that it has been installed to the correct length. Improper length or pitch mismatch can cause severe damage.
Link plates appear damaged
Immediately inspect the chain for damage. Damaged link plates can compromise chain integrity and safety. Replacement is likely necessary.
