CHAIN FACTS
North American model XS/TX650's (1974-84) with Stock 17T/34T sprockets use a 104 Link Chain
COUNT Your Sprocket Teeth and Chain Links!

Mikes XS is not responsible for customer mismatched chain lengths and chains are Not returnable.
New chains will usually be very tight when newly installed but will loosen in a few miles when the high pressure factory injected roller grease runs in. Install chains with Axel all the way forward, chain adjusters fully loosened and bike off center stand. Use of chain puller (XS# 35-0130) may be required to get the master link in place.
Worn (Stretched or Hooked) Sprocket Teeth will cause fitting difficulties.
18Tooth front sprockets will fit if the shift shaft guard is removed.
Keep your chain adjusted! 18Tooth front sprockets move the chain closer to the Clutch Pushrod.

XS650's use 530 (#50) type chain as stock size, Mikes XS now offers lighter weight 520 types.
520 Chains Must be used with 520 Sprockets: See our Sprocket Listing
520 Chains & Sprockets are lighter and decrease unsprung weight loading.
520 & 530 IZUMI Chains (same grades) have the same dimensions (except width) and the same Tensile Strength.
530 Sprockets usually last longer than 520 Sprockets due to the wider load bearing area.

Always Confirm Sprocket size and Matching Chain Lengths (See info listed below)
