Try moving this to the Tech section.  Might be able to get the help you're looking for by posting there.

I'm sure it will work. May not last as long. May last longer.  But it will work at first!

hmmm...let me put this in perspective...you want to put a $40 chain on your bike...which you aren't concerned about?....and if said chain snaps and punches a hole in the engine crankcase, what did that cheap chain save you then?....


I guess the answer is simply this..."you get what you pay for"

i'm pretty sure the stock oem chain is comparable to this one but i could be wrong.

i know everyone here reco's expensive ass chains (i have an xring myself) but the truth is the chain my bike originally came with wasn't exactly a high end chain.  it looked like a standard heavy duty d.i.d. chain. 

just lubricate regularly and check tension and make sure it's not binding.  don't be surprised if it doesn't last as long as an x-ring but be happy its cheaper.

If it's for a Duc - shouldn't you be looking for a 520 or 530 chain?

Chains and tires are two places you really should never, ever skimp out.  Happily a high-end chain usually ends up cheaper than a crappy chain even on the off chance the crappy chain doesn't break and maim you and/or the bike.  I run a DID ZVMx2 on my street stuff.  Its good for a solid 40k miles and ultra-strong.

Your bike came with an "O" ring chain.   This chain is not.

It should be a 520 for sure but the bike has a beefy 525 RK that has ben riveted in one spot and a link in the other but it looks  in fine  cond. but i dont like the idea of two links on one chain .

WTF?

I'm guessing (hoping) your 525 chain is running on sprockets for a 525 chain that are in proper alignment.  Most people go down in size, not up.

I don't know about the chain in question but I have a chain snap out  on me while exiting on a ramp.  It ain't fun.  It ended up affecting the case.  I had bought case saver but it didn't fit.  Towing wasnt cheap either.  So as someone already mention, can't skimp on chain and tire.

 I got a complete set today from DRIVE SYSTEMS  in huntington beach ca.  $185   RK chain  GB520 GXW 14 FRT /40 rear sprockets  ...  Then got Motul-E-tech 100 full syn  ,and a OEM oil filtier .then paid 300 bones to the vet for a dogs tooth problem .   And grabed a free frt take off like new .

I'm still trying to wrap my head around that 525 chain on your bike, all-caps dude.

Maybe the previous owner modified the bike for towing
