Setup, Compatibility & Care
This kit is compatible exclusively with Yamaha YZF-R1 1000 ABS models from 2015 through 2022. During setup, verify the alignment of the rear axle marks to ensure the sprockets are perfectly parallel; misalignment can lead to premature chain wear and noisy operation.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the chain every 300-500 miles using a dedicated non-detergent cleaner and a soft-bristled brush.
- Apply a high-quality, O-ring compatible chain lubricant to the inner rollers and side plates after cleaning.
- Check chain slack according to the Yamaha owner's manual specifications every time you lubricate the chain.
- Inspect sprockets periodically for signs of 'hooking' or wear on the teeth which indicates the need for replacement.
