D.I.D 525VX3 X-Ring Drive Chain 525

comes with a master link with a clip. Advise not to use it. Replace with a pin.

Not thrilled that it came with a clip master link.

Apparently the best version of the best chain for my bike at the moment. Hope so!

Check your order

The description clearly states that it comes with a rivet style master link, however mine came with a clip style. Check your order before cutting and fitting your chain, or just buy an additional master of the correct type in case they send the wrong one.

Good stuff

Lasted roughly 30,00-0 miles on my 2010 F800 GS. Got the 116 link chain and fitted with my chain tool. Order an extra master link just in case and keep with you. I had the retaining plate clip come off.

Must read!!!!!!

This chain really irritates me and makes me extremely happy at the same time. Let me start with saying I have this chain on my 2009 R6 and I've never had a problem with it. It lasted 20,000 miles before I decided to replace it and it could have gone much much longer. However, I have never been more annoyed, irritated, and impressed at the same time with this chain than I am right now. I have been working on replacing my chain and sprockets for a combined 4 hours now because this chain will not come off. Let me explain. I first tried taking off the chain with the correct tool but it broke in the process (what do you expect from a $40 tool) so I called my buddy to borrow his. Even though I have removed and installed about 8-10 chains before I decided to triple check ... MoreThis chain really irritates me and makes me extremely happy at the same time.

I first tried taking off the chain with the correct tool but it broke in the process (what do you expect from a $40 tool) so I called my buddy to borrow his. Even though I have removed and installed about 8-10 chains before I decided to triple check my work and look up a YouTube video on how to remove it since I didn't want to risk breaking my friends tool as well. I ended up breaking it in about 10 minutes?.. so now what do I do? Well, I started with trying to just pry the outer link off and hopefully that would pull the rivet out but I broke the screwdriver off inside the link. Oh well no big deal I'm replacing the chain anyway. Next tool I tried is a chisel and I broke that almost immediately. Darn. At this point I noticed some separation in the links so I think I'm getting close so I tried putting another screwdriver in them and prying them apart. Long story short this chain is now home to two tips of screwdrivers. I ran to my parents house, grabbed and angle grinder, and headed back. I went through a whole blade on an angle grinder before the link finally broke free so I was able to get it off. So I guess what I'm trying to say is either I have extremely cheap and fragile tools, or you will absolutely never have to worry about this chain failing on you for as long as you ride. So yes I am giving 5 stars every day of the week.

Off the chain.

I like good chains, and this one seems good enough.I bought this chain because it was precut to the length I needed.All the cool kids have gold finish chains. The one I bought is natural finish, but it's okay, it's the same quality, and was just interested in the precut factor.Make sure to take care of it, and keep an eye on it. I had this brand before. Unfortunately, I was negligent on maintenance, and I had something abrasive rubbing it close to my front sprocket. This resulted in many of my x-rings tearing. The old chain stretched too much, and I had to replace.

RevZilla Unchained

hey it's sumthin I wanted to make my 2021 Yamaha MT09 SP look even more badass the quality is???the looks are????nuffsed??????

This has a clip style master link!

The chain is fine and arrived a day early but I'm not happy I had to spend more money to get a rivet style master link.

Wrong Master Link Shipped With Chain

Make sure you check that D.I.D/Revzilla included the correct size master link. I purchased a new in box 525, 114 link chain. Waxed up factory fresh chain. Box was undamaged. I thought everything was good.A 520 master link was in the box.So either D.I.D's quality control is dog water or Revzilla is selling returned items as new.Either way, this was an incredibly frustrating experience. I'll buy direct from another manufacturer next time.
