530UWV-CLF RK Rivet Link Silver
RK 530UWV chain was especially developed to replace 530 non-sealed
chains on classic motorcycles where clearances between sprockets and
crankcase or chains and swingarm are restrictive. This 530 UWV chain
features RK ultra thin UW-Ring seals. This gives a sealed ring chain
with a very similar outer width to conventional non sealed chains,
allowing fitment where sealed chain could not previously be used.
Converting from non sealed chain to sealed ring UWV can give up to 4
times the life of a non-sealed chain. UWV has very minimal friction and
very little stretch after initial adjustment.
Only RK produces a sealed ring conversion of this type for classic
motorcycles
There are many chain manufacturers in the motorcycle industry but most
(including some Japanese manufacturers) only offer a single type of
sealing ring, using a "one type fits all approach" which is used on all
their drive chains. This can be inefficient depending on the intended
use. Different types of seals for different applications maximises
efficiency and performance.
RK currently has FIVE types of sealed-ring chains. Each has its own
features and benefits.
-
O ring and RX Rings came first. Each a great product in their own
right and broadly similar to the competition's current offerings.
-
After several years of development, RK added the XW range of sealed
chains to radically improve chain life and performance.
-
As racing expanded into several different genres, RK also added the
ultra thin U-Ring and UW-Ring sealed chains.
-
Each seal type is specifically designed for a particular use to
provide the ultimate in rotating efficiency with minimum friction,
while providing a longer chain life.
-
Do not compromise: Maximise the motorcycle's performance by fitting RK
chain. Mark Marquez does and he does pretty well...
GP530UWV chain is the ideal replacement sealed chain for vintage
motorcycles that were originally supplied with non-sealed chain.
-
530UWV chain features an ultra thin UW ring seal.
-
UW-Ring making it possible to have a chain width very similar to the
original, non-sealed chain.
-
This chain comes with a silver coating on the inner and outer plates.
-
Converting non-sealed to a sealed chain can give up to 4 times the
chain life and much less adjustment being needed.
