How do you measure a motorcycle chain?
In this video from Partzilla.com, John will take you through an explanation of what the numbers mean on a motorcycle or ATV chain. We’ll use a 400, 500, and 600 series chain and take you through how each digit of that number means something. We’ll talk about what the pitch of a chain means, so that you can find the right chain for your motorcycle or ATV.

As a European this really grinds my gears.... Thanks for explaining the crazy numbers though.

Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing explanation! We have a tiny 420 on my kids’ Razor E200 scooter and need to shorten the chain due to age. Thank you thank you thank you! Simple to understand, well explained!

You could simply buy a Sidewinder chain wear gauge. See Sidewinder Sprockets

[@SnowroxKT]

Thanks, I just bought a used ATV that needs a chain, and then found out it has a Kawasaki street bike motor swapped into it. Any tips on measuring for a chain when all I have is the sprockets?

[@daveyt4802]

Wondering how to go smaller and if it's worth it. Like from 525 to 428 etc...

[@davetyler5671]

great explanation but wow what a laim way to create sizeing chains

[@Tyler-es]

I have a sprocket with 3/8 width and 5/8 center of drop to center or drop. What chain would that be?

[@michaelbiel7473]

I run 428 on rm85 and a 520 on my yz450f and I only use DID xring they are the best

[@monfrig6959]

I bought a bike and NO size chain fits the sprockets its starter chain I'm talking about ( 25 too small 35 too big )....do they make metric chain ?

[@rlaslo100]

I think my ATV is 480 ? Princess Auto sells #35 #40 #41 #50 #60 #60H # 80 Witch one do I use ?

[@razvanpascu6771]

[@rlaslo100]
