FAQs
What is the difference between a rivet link and a clip link?
A rivet link provides a more secure and permanent connection, making it suitable for high-performance applications. Clip links are easier to install but may not be as secure for rigorous use.
What tools are needed to install the rivet link?
You will need a chain breaker and a chain rivet tool.
How often should I lubricate my chain?
Lubricate your chain every 300-500 miles, or after riding in wet conditions.
How do I know if my chain needs replacing?
Check for stretched links, worn rollers, and tight spots. Also, inspect for rust and damage. Refer to your motorcycle's manual for chain wear limits.
Is this link compatible with other chain brands?
No, this rivet link is specifically designed for D.I.D 520 ERV7 chains.
What does 'ZJ' mean on the link?
ZJ stands for 'Z Joint', which is the rivet closure style used by D.I.D for their chains.
What is the X-Ring design?
The X-Ring design is an internal sealing ring that helps retain grease and prevent contaminants from entering the chain, which extends the chain's life and performance.
How do I remove the old rivet link?
Use a chain breaker tool to remove the old rivet link by pressing out the pins.
Troubleshooting
The chain link is difficult to install.
Ensure you are using the correct tools and following the installation instructions. Make sure the chain is aligned and the link is seated properly. Lubricate the link pins for easier insertion.
The chain link does not move freely.
Check if the link is properly installed. If the rivet is too tight, it may restrict movement. Adjust the rivet using the tool if necessary. Ensure there is no binding.
The chain link is loose after installation.
Re-check the riveting process. The link may not be securely fastened. Use the rivet tool to secure the link properly.
