D.I.D - Direct Rigidity is D.I.D’s original concept born from years of experience in MotoGP development. Rigidity in a chain means resistance to chain deformation and elongation. Pin flex robs your bike of its horsepower. The high rigidity of D.I.D pins means a quicker response, resistance from chain elongation, and smoother handling. D.I.D - X-Ring D.I.D’s patended X-Ring is superior to other O-Ring designs. The X-Ring construction reduces friction by twisting between the side plate instead of being squashed. Chain elongation is caused by pin wear. D.I.D’s patented X-Ring holds lubrication within the bushing increasing the pin and chain life by 1.5x - 2x. Endless chains The chain is continuously riveted No danger of improper connection within the chain Extensive assembly work on the motorcycle may be required for installation, e.g. removal of the rear wheel and/or swingarm Rivet Link ZJ-type Rivet and press fit type For O/X ring chain For large motorcycles You will need a tool to press in the outer plate and rivet pins Clip Link FJ-type Safety-Clip and press-fit Type For O/X-Ring chain For middle size motorcycles You need a tool to press -fit outer plate Clip Link RJ-type Safety-Clip and loose-fit Type Mainly for non-O-Ring chain For small size motorcycles You don t need any special tools

DID 530VX3 PRO STREET X-RING CHAIN (ZB) - GOLD/BLACK
Delivery $12
originally posted on fortnine.ca
Got this chain about a month ago for my TW200. I did not remove a link due to putting on a new rear 47th sprocket and now sits at #6 on my snail adjuster.The master link I pressed home using a small nut and a pair of vise grips. I see complaints about master link being small, well yea it has keep seals, so it not going to slide on like a non O or X chain. I dont see a lot of drag but then my old chain was worn out and rusty =)

I put DID vx3 chains on almost all my bikes. They have a good coating that keeps them from rusting and they tend to require less adjustment over time compared to others. I give it 4 starts because it comes with a clip-type master link that is unnecessarily tight and very difficult to install. The chain also comes coated in grease. Be sure to wipe it off before using the chain so it doesn't create a mess.

Chain is great. It should match my Candy Yellow Kawasaki F11 nicely. However, the included master link was a rivet type link, not the clip type link as shown in the description. Minus points for having the wrong description.

Gold looks good, chain wears good. Works for dirt bikes too! 2nd bike I have replaced the OEM DID chain with this 520VX3 chain. Minimal stretch over time. Would purchase again. YZ450FX
It's a great quality chain. Arrived sooner than expected. It's the third one installed on my DR650. Currently has just over 50,000 miles! I always change the sprockets with a new chain.
Easy to install, looks good, does the job. Can't comment on durability yet as there's less 100 miles on it. It's actually installed on a CTX700ND even though the posting says just N. My bike shouldn't come close to testing the limits of the chain, believe DiD says it can handle 1000cc machines.Wanted to give an X-ring chain a go, OEM O-ring was nice but wasn't really up for daily commuting rain or shine, 90 miles, paved and gravel roads.
Very good stuff. I can recommend this DID chain, I use on all my bikes since forty years..! Very happy. Just hope they had not changed the quality and made there chain in china ? I know hope is not a strategy
I put this on my 2004 Yamaha Fz1 and was amazed that a chain could make such a difference. The take off is so smooth now. Not snappy and jerky. There is no delay when the throttle is applied. I was really happy I went with this chain.
This is the chain I run on dirt bike and dual sport works well and lasts beyond my chosen change interval. Highly recommend.
