When riveting your connecting link ensure that the rivet pins are not under or over riveted. For example 520XSO chains require a rivet diameter of minimum 5.45mm to maximum 5.55mm; while 520ZXW will require a rivet diameter of minimum 5.55mm to maximum 5.65mm. Pins that are over riveted can bind the link, while pins that are under riveted can cause a dangerous situation.

Front vs Back? Did you know that RK sealed chain clip-type connecting links have a front and a back that are meant to be installed in a certain direction? These clips have a slight bend which provides more tension on the side plate keeping the clip in place better. You can identify which is front or back by rocking the plate on a flat surface. The clip can be installed on either side, and the clip will work just fine; however, if you install the clip with the bend part away ...from the chain plate the clip will perform more better. When installing a clip-type connecting link always make sure that the closed end of the clip moves in the direction of chain rotation.

RK Chain The Choice of Champions! Colton Haaker Goes Two-For-Two at AMA Endurocross Series Double-Header Weekend Haaker had a rough start to the day with a big crash in practice but he quickly turned things around in race one as he powered his Husqvarna FX350 into second place off the start. A couple of mistakes cost him a position with only two laps to go and he ultimately finished on the podium in third.... With an inverted start in Moto 2, Haaker lined up in the second row but that didn’t stop him from charging his way up to third off the start. He made the pass for first coming into the second lap and from there he maintained a solid pace to win the race two by nearly six seconds. In race three, Haaker shot off the line to capture the holeshot and he once again set a pace that could not be matched early on. With consistently fast laptimes, the three-time champion raced his way to a 5.8-second victory in the final moto to cap off a successful weekend in southern California.

Factory Process: RK Chain Simulation Machine There isn’t a single RK Chain model out on the road that hasn’t gone through an extensive series of testing and simulation processes. RK Chain’s simulation machines allow RK to duplicate actual riding acceleration and deceleration over the course of hours to days and even weeks. The simulation machines can be set for a specific motorcycle/ATV make and model and can reproduce the effects of weather. The simulation can even duplicate... a specific racer’s riding pattern on a specific track. The RK Simulation machines also allow RK to test how various agents such as lubes or cleansers affect the chain and chain seals over the duration of time and use. Through these tests and simulations, RK brings the longest wearing and most durable chains to dealers worldwide.

Does your Sprocket Have Hooked Teeth? How about excessive wear? When was the last time you inspected your chain and sprockets for signs of wear? If your sprockets are showing signs of wear and need replacing be sure to replace both the chain and sprockets at the same time. Installing a brand-new chain on worn sprockets can significantly reduce the life of the chain (if the chain will even fit on worn sprockets). And vice versa never install a used chain on new sprockets. ...Maximize your wearlife by always replacing both sprockets and chain together.

RK Chain - The Choice of Champions! RK Chain and Excel Rim sponsored KTM Rider Taylor Robert back on the podium at Glen Helen WORCS Double-Header! With four total wins through the first five rounds, FMF KTM Factory Racing Team’s Taylor Robert remains in the championship lead. ... On day one, Robert got off to a second-place start aboard his KTM 450 XC-F but a crash early on caused him to lose time to the leader. He put his head down and charged to reel in the leader, Dante Oliveira, making a strategic decision to pit opposite of Oliveira on lap seven and it paid off as he overtook the lead. However, Robert made a couple of mistakes which allowed Oliveira to get back by and from there it was a head-to-head battle to the finish. The Reigning Champion attempted to speed up his pit stop in an effort to make up some time but that proved unsuccessful as he ended up losing about 20 seconds late in the race to ultimately finish off the top step of the podium. On day two, Robert grabbed the holeshot going up the Talladega section but he got pinched off going into the second turn and he dropped back to third. He quickly charged up to second before making his way into the lead halfway through the first lap. Despite a couple tip overs, Robert was able to maintain the lead from start to finish, besting his competition by 11 seconds for the win.
