The RK 525 XRE drive chain is designed for OE replacement on mid-size motorcycles requiring dependable performance and smooth power delivery. This gold-finished chain includes 120 links and is engineered for on-road and off-road applications where strength, durability, and efficient acceleration are essential. Manufacturer part number GB525XRE-120 and vendor part number GB525XRE-120 identify this RK chain for accurate application matching.
RK’s original double-X-shaped XW-Ring seal helps extend chain service life by retaining lubrication more effectively than conventional O-ring designs. Each seal creates three lubricant pools, supporting reduced friction and improved protection against wear. The chain is lubricated with specially formulated vacuum-injected U-grease, which is secured by durable nitrile butadiene rubber XW-Rings for reliable performance in demanding riding conditions.
Polished and shot-peened link plates provide a smooth finish and enhanced resistance to fatigue. High tensile strength supports consistent power transfer and dependable operation during acceleration. The chain includes a rivet connecting link for installation on compatible 525-size motorcycle drive systems. Verify the motorcycle manufacturer’s fitment requirements, chain length, and gearing configuration before installation.
