Cool and long lasting

Installed on Initial ModelGSX1300R HAYABUSA

RK's X-XWSeries electrodeposition coating MODEL is claimed to have surface treatment on all Product Contents that touch the Large on the ManufacturerHP, so I think that RK's X-XWSeries electrodeposition coating I believe that the color is the strongest.

In fact, I've used it for about 30000km at this point, and although there are parts where the black paint has faded a little due to frequent cleaning of the chain, I can't see any rust and it still looks good.

The Gold Chain is also good, but if you combine it with the Aluminum Sprocket, you will notice the difference in color of the Gold.
In this respect, BlackChain is a good fit.

I left the installation to Dealer.
It costs quite a lot of money, but it is a very difficult job to do by yourself.
Since a mistake in the drive system can directly affect your life, we strongly recommend that you study the contents carefully and have an experienced person present when you do it yourself.
It may be cheaper to buy them through mail order and take them to a motorcycle shop, even if you have to pay a little extra for the work.

Also, it is not limited to this Chain, but when it is new, Grease is applied like an enemy of the parent, so if you leave it as it is, Grease will fly furiously for a while.
It is recommended to clean it with Chain cleaner immediately after assembly.
(This is not the case if you are using a high viscosity lube that is ready to splatter.)

520Conversion

Used with GPZ900R and with RK H.C.S
Friction loss was drastically reduced with 520Conversion
I've used it for over 6,000km, and even with a full Pannier + Tandem, it's still decent Maintenance is not a problem

Initially

According to Wheel (Champagne gold) I tried to make it as a gold chain, but Chain was a bright gold too, so after all it was in Black - - - When I installed it ChainBlack was privately correct for WheelGold. We also expect durability

Previously I used same RK brand GV530X-XW.
It covered 30,000km, so it's time to change.
I thought it is a good idea to have different color, then I choose black this time.
I might be lazy for frequent maintenance because dirt will not be clearly seen on a black chain.
When I was going to write the review, I accidentally read some review and knew this product has recalled.
well, I am positive since this product is from the reliable manufacturer which enable to trace back and notice the defect, if that's the case.
Actually my part fall into the recall lot. gotta exchange. Too bad!
