Chain fit?

[rideserotta]

Will a 52 link GXW (Japan) 525 O-Ring chain fit my 2005 M620?

52 link seems really short.  I bought a 110 link for my M750 and for my 900SS and only cut a few links off so I'm thinking I've got around a 98-100 link chain on both of them.

depending on your gears, its between 100 and 110 more than likely.....


52? Maybe its a naming convention issue. You count EVERY link.

I was wondering if there was something to how the 52 was counted.  I buy 110-link and cut to fit.

Stock 620 has a 520 chain, I think.

52 is another way of counting - same as 104.

GearingCommander list the 620 with 106 (or 53) links.
They have been wrong on stock numbers before - don't know if 106 is correct.

A 620 uses a 520 chain.  What the others said, unless the chain looks obviously short.

A 620 uses a 520 chain. 

Perhaps that's why those bikes are so fast...

my 2000 M-750 has 98 links.  Its too short now due to a bigger rear sprocket and taller profiled rear tire.   Center contact patch of tire rubs the forward portion of swingarm behind the shock link.

For what it's worth, my Sport1000 is geared with a 14t up front, and a 40 in the back.  Just got a new chain for it and Chris at CaCycle Works recommended a 108.
