my second RK Gold chain
Last one was a 630 O ring on a GS750: would not stretch. This one is a 520 on a KLR 650. Won't stretch either. I did a 6k break in and tried to do an adjustment: no way, there was NO stretch.

Good quality
Good quality chain. You get what you pay for. Last chain wouldn’t stop stretching. Not the case with this one. Good for track days as well.

RK 520 GXW Premium XW-Ring Chain Natural 120
FortNine was as usual top notch services and delivery. For the chain , it's the winter so I don't use it but the initial quality seems to exeed the OEM chain I replaced. Since i go to 520 from 525 we'll see for longevity. I expect less mileage but for the price this an experience I want to do.
