Product Information
Full details
The DID 520 NZ drive chain is a high-performance, non-O-ring chain engineered for off-road enthusiasts and competitive riders who demand reliable power transfer and durability. By utilizing advanced SDH pin treatment technology and solid bush construction, this chain excels at absorbing the high-impact shocks typical of motocross and enduro riding while resisting debris-heavy environments like mud and sand. It is an excellent upgrade for riders seeking a robust transmission component, though users should be aware that, as a non-O-ring chain, it requires more frequent cleaning and lubrication compared to sealed alternatives.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this chain compatible with a 525 sprocket?
No, this is a 520 pitch chain and must only be used with matching 520 pitch sprockets to prevent catastrophic failure.
Does this chain come with a master link?
Yes, standard DID chains include the necessary connection link; ensure your specific kit is inspected upon arrival.
How often should I lubricate this chain?
For off-road use, it is recommended to clean and lubricate the chain before every ride, or immediately after a ride in muddy or wet conditions.
Can I use this chain on my street bike?
While it fits 520 setups, it is optimized for off-road. Street riders generally prefer O-ring or X-ring chains for longer maintenance intervals.
What does SDH treatment do?
SDH stands for Super Dai-Hard, a special chromium carbide layer that increases surface hardness to prevent wear while maintaining a flexible, shock-absorbent core.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface rust
Clean the chain thoroughly and apply a heavy coat of anti-corrosion chain lubricant to protect the metal.
Excessive chain slack
Check your tension settings against your motorcycle manual and adjust via the rear axle; if the chain remains loose after maximum adjustment, it is time for a replacement.
Kinking or stiff links
Use a penetrating chain lubricant to work the stiff link loose; if it does not move freely after cleaning and lubrication, replace the link or the chain.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior wear resistance through SDH technology
- High shock absorption capabilities
- Lightweight design for competitive racing
- Excellent performance in off-road, debris-heavy environments
Cons
- Requires more frequent maintenance than O-ring chains
- Non-sealed design allows debris to enter inner components
- Not intended for long-haul street touring applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure your motorcycle’s sprocket set is compatible with a 520 pitch chain. The DID 520 NZ 106-link chain should be installed with a high-quality master link suitable for your specific chain tool. When installing, check the manufacturer's manual for proper slack settings; an over-tightened chain will cause unnecessary wear on your transmission bearings and the chain itself. For maintenance, clean the chain using a specialized motorcycle chain cleaner and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the chain, as they can force water into the pins and cause internal corrosion. Always apply a high-quality motorcycle chain wax or lubricant immediately after cleaning and allowing the chain to dry.
