The DID 428HD/118 motorcycle transmission chain is designed for riders seeking enhanced durability and performance for small to mid-sized motorcycles. Featuring reinforced plates and seamless roll construction, this chain offers superior tensile strength and wear resistance compared to standard 428D models, making it ideal for daily commuting and touring. While the included clip-style connecting link provides for easy, tool-free installation, users must ensure proper tensioning and regular maintenance to maximize the chain's lifespan.

This is a 428-pitch chain. Ensure your motorcycle sprockets are rated for a 428-size chain before installation.
The 428HD/118 uses a clip-style master link, which can be installed with simple hand tools like pliers, unlike rivet-style chains.
It is recommended to lubricate the chain every 300 to 500 miles, or immediately after riding in wet or dusty conditions.
No, this chain is designed for small to mid-sized motorcycles. It is not intended for high-output racing or large-displacement sportbikes.
The 428HD series is reinforced with thicker plates and better material science, resulting in 20-50% higher wear resistance than the standard 428D.
Adjust the axle position to achieve the manufacturer-recommended tension slack.
Clean the chain thoroughly and apply lubricant; if stiffness remains after manipulation, replace the chain as it indicates internal wear.
Verify the clip is properly seated in the grooves of the pins and that the orientation is correct.
To install, ensure your motorcycle is in neutral and on a center stand or paddock stand. Remove the old chain using a chain breaker tool, then feed the DID 428HD/118 over the sprockets. Use the included clip link to secure the ends; ensure the clip is oriented with the closed end facing the direction of chain rotation to prevent it from snagging. Always check your motorcycle service manual for the correct chain slack specifications (usually 20-30mm of vertical play) to prevent premature sprocket wear. Regularly clean the chain with a soft brush and kerosene or specialized chain cleaner, followed by a high-quality chain lubricant applied to the rollers and side plates every 300-500 miles.
