How to tell what kinda chain you have.

How do you tell the difference between a 520 chain and a 630. I bought a gsxr wheel and swingarm that came with the extended chain,i need to buy the front sprocket to match,how do i tell what to buy?

What i mean is how do i tell my chain type,i know it's o ring....

probably stamped into one of the links/sideplates

All it says is RHo RK50? Both sides....;)I Never claimed to be the brightest star in the sky..... Any clue what kinda chain?

Funniest show ever: Al was obsessed with toilets. They went to a French restaurant once and Al used the facilities... and a pissed off waiter complained: "You overflowed the toilet!"... to which Al replied: "Cheap frenchie toilet...."

Remember the episode where the skydiving Santa went through their roof and they ended up keeping all the shopping gift certificates?

And the real treat was watching Christina Applegate go through her most curvaceous years in clothes that would make a hooker blush.......

hahaha the new market mall santa falling out of the sky! That was good stuff. spike tv shows episodes nightly around 4Am here,i dvr them,man tv was good ten years ago.

measure between the pins on a link if it is 520 or 530 chain it will be 5/8" center to center on each link the 630 drive chain is 3/4" center to center on each link the next measure ment is the distance between the plates the 520 is 1/4" between side plates the 530 or 630 is 3/8" between side plates hope that clears things up for you

Much apperciation man,it's a 520 or a 530 she is 5/8 center to center. Gotta find a front sprocket and that will do for the drive line....thanks for the info folks....

ferguson i believe

So what is the difff between the 520 and 530 chain?

Chain size is in inches, the three digit number used to discribe the chain size is based on the "rule of eights". The first digit is for chain pitch. This is the distance between the pins. The second and third digits combine for roller width, with a decimal point inserted between the second and third digits.

For example, a 420 chain has a pitch of 4/8" = 1/2" and a roller width of 2.0/8" which equals 1/4"

A 525 chain has a pitch of 5/8" and a roller width of 2.5/8" which equals 5/16"

A 530 chain has a pitch of 5/8" and a roller width of 3.0/8" which equals 3/8"
