Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this chain on any motorcycle?

This is a 428 pitch chain. You must ensure your motorcycle's sprockets are also designed for a 428 pitch chain; it is not compatible with 420 or 520 sized sprockets.

Does this chain come with a master link?

Yes, it includes an RJ clip-type connecting link for easy installation.

How often should I lubricate the DID 428 D?

For optimal performance, lubricate the chain every 300 to 500 miles, or immediately after riding in wet or dusty conditions.

Is this an O-ring or X-ring chain?

No, this is a standard open-type chain, meaning it does not have internal rubber seals.

Can I cut this chain if it is too long?

Yes, you can use a chain breaker tool to remove extra links to fit your specific motorcycle setup.

Why is my chain stretching quickly?

Chain stretch is usually caused by insufficient lubrication, riding in harsh conditions, or worn sprockets causing the chain to skip.

Troubleshooting

Chain is sagging significantly or hitting the swingarm

Adjust the rear axle position to increase tension according to your bike's manual, or remove excess links if the adjustment limit has been reached.

Increased noise or vibration while riding

Thoroughly clean the chain of road grime and apply fresh lubricant; check for any stiff links that may need loosening.

Master link clip comes off or looks loose

Replace the master link immediately. Ensure the new clip is installed with the closed end facing the direction of travel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to wear and stretching
  • Easy installation with basic hand tools
  • Reliable power delivery for daily riding
  • Pre-lubricated for immediate use
  • Stable sprocket engagement

Cons

  • Requires frequent manual cleaning and lubrication
  • Less protected from external elements than sealed chains
  • Must be checked regularly for tension adjustments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the DID 428 D involves removing your old chain and sizing this 138-link unit to your motorcycle's specific wheelbase requirements. The RJ clip-type master link allows for tool-free assembly, though you must ensure the clip is oriented so that the closed end faces the direction of the chain's rotation to prevent accidental detachment.

Care instructions:

  1. Clean the chain every 300 to 500 miles using a soft brush and approved chain cleaner.
  2. Apply a high-quality motorcycle chain lubricant after every wash or rain ride.
  3. Check chain slack according to your motorcycle owner's manual specifications.
  4. Inspect the sprocket teeth for "hooking" which indicates that the sprockets need to be replaced alongside the chain.
