DID 520 VX3 Heavy Duty X-Ring Gold/Black Chain

DID's VX3 Chain uses patented low-friction X-ring seals, which keep lubrication and dirt out. They provide superior protection against dirt than an O-ring chain while producing less friction and thus less power loss.

DID's X-ring chains have 40% greater wear resistance than DID's O-ring chain and 25 times that of the DID standard chain. With the correct maintenance, an X-ring chain will last longer than an O-ring or unsealed chain.

DID's VX3 chains feature new 'Direct Energy Transfer', which provides excellent throttle response due to an increased chain rigidity.

AFAM Sprockets

Designed and engineered in Belgium, AFAM is a world-class brand of sprocket and is the OEM choice of Kymco, Norton and others.

AFAM uses high-quality steel in both its front and rear sprockets. Its rear sprockets are CNC machines and produced in C45 normalized steel.They feature induction-hardened teeth, for reduced wear. They are then plated in either a silver (zinc) or black (electrophoresis) colour, to suit the original and to help protect against corrosion.

DID 520 VX3 drive chains are always supplied 'open' with a rivet link (included). You will need a specialised tool in order to rivet the chain, or take it to a mechanic who can do it for you. A spring link is available, but a spring link has only 65% of the strength of a rivet link and therefore, a rivet link is always recommended.
It is important to periodically inspect and lubricate the chain to maximise chain life.
