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