Find the model of your chain
First the first step is to find the chain model corresponding to your car model. How to find the chain model that suits you?
You can check the instructions of your vehicle, or call the 4S store, or consult the Taobao store.
If you feel complicated and lazy, Xiao Lei also has a good idea. Open the official website of did and fill in your model, and the most suitable model will appear.
The same RK official website can also see the chains that are suitable for the corresponding models, including the lifting degree and detailed test data of the chain.

chain model means?
Another thing that motorcycle friends are puzzled is the meaning of the chain model, because the length and width of the chain required for each car are different.
When we purchase a chain, we will see that the chain specifications are all written: 428, 520, 525, etc. So what does it mean?
Take Xiao Lei's KTM as an example. The current car chain is 114 sections, so the specification of the purchased RK chain is 520x120L, of which 120L means the chain is 120 sections.
The chain can be shortened when buying a long chain, but it cannot be installed if it is short. and 520 are the chain specifications. The first number 5 is the length of the chain link: the last 20 refers to the width of the inner width.

Oil seal is IQ tax?
Regarding whether the oil seal chain is an IQ tax, we can actually check the test results on the official websites of each brand. Example RK's 520XSO2 oil seal chain official description of the official description of RK's life is guaranteed to reach 20,000 miles of paved roads, or non-paved for 1 year. The total kilometer is 32,000 kilometers before it needs to be updated.
So the lubricating chain with oil seal has a significant improvement in life. Although the oil seal chain is good, it is not necessary for all models. For example, models with a displacement of 125 or 150 have a smaller horsepower, and the friction properties of oil seals are also greater.
Although the impact on power is slight, I will explain it to my motorcycle friends. For example, the riding environment is good, there is no large dust, or short-distance riding behavior, you can use ordinary chains frequently, and you can maintain the chain frequently. The lifespan of ordinary chains can reach 10,000 kilometers. Whether it is necessary to upgrade depends on your economic ability.

Which chain has a high cost performance?
(This picture comes from; Xiao Wife Automobile and Motor Club)
In fact, Xiao Lei found that the commercial models of these three brands of chains are not very expensive due to the influence of the brand, and it is mainly about getting what you get when you pay for it.
chain actually is the most worrying about the chain will be deformed, stretched, or even broken. I also looked at the actual chain tests in Taiwan Province, which are the same as the medium-weight level; DID VX, EK ZVX, and RK XSO. Among these three models, DID has the best tensile resistance, followed by EK and finally RK, but in fact, the stretching gap between these three models is no longer the difference that we can feel in daily life.
Sort by price Among them, the current domestic price of EK's ZVX series is around ￥1,000 yuan, DID is around ￥850 yuan, and RK is around ￥650 yuan.
So my conclusion is;
If you have a pursuit of the ultimate product and are not short of that 200 yuan, I think that with the DID of Rossi Platform can give you a better product experience. DID is also a leading company in the chain industry around the world.
Of course, EK is also a lower level, and the price is around ￥850 yuan, but compared with this price, DID and RK with high cost performance, the competitiveness of the products is not obvious.
On the contrary, RK's XSO series is priced at around ￥650 yuan. In addition to the Marquis platform as endorsement, it is also a cost-effective choice for domestic riders. 6 and above only mention these popular series of brands, with chains with a medium displacement of less than 800cc. Other chains can be selected according to the depth of the pocket and the corresponding displacement of the chain manufacturer.
So how to choose a chain and learn how to learn "waste"? If you don’t understand the chain model query, leave a message in the comment area. . Finally, I would like to remind everyone that the chain should be maintained and oiled in time after the rain to avoid rust. It is recommended to use oil every 500KM for long-distance motorcycles. Please distinguish between the cleaning agent used in the oil seal chain and ordinary chain. Only regular maintenance can better transmit power and avoid abnormal noise.
