Premium X-Ring 525 Chain & Sprocket Kit – Hyosung GT650 GT650R

Description

This special-order upgrade kit (x-ring chain & sprocket set) outperforms the standard Korean factory setup. It includes a gold 525 X-Ring chain, premium steel sprockets, and all the fasteners you need—even a fresh nut and genuine Hyosung washer. Made for riders who want reliability, strength, and less frequent adjustment, this kit is perfect for touring, daily rides, or spirited weekend blasts.

💎 Great power demands a strong chain!

We only use high-carbon chromoly-steel sprockets from trusted European/Japanese brands (SunStar, JT, Renthal, AFAM). This selection provides higher tensile strength and a longer wear life compared to generic Korea/China alternatives. By choosing an X-Ring chain over the basic OEM O-ring design, you get better lubrication retention and weather resistance.

📜 Confirmed Fitment Guide (650cc v-Twin)

This kit fits all 650cc GT and GTR models (Carburettor & EFI) up to 2018:

🔧 Install Tips

• Loosen First: Loosen the front sprocket nut while the old chain is still on and the bike is in gear with the rear brake applied.
• The Critical Washer: Ensure the genuine locking washer tab is bent back over the freshly torqued nut after tightening to prevent loosening.
• Torque Specs: Use a calibrated torque wrench for all fasteners to avoid damage to threads or shafts.
• Rivet Link: If you are unfamiliar with chain riveting, a local professional mechanic can secure the master link for minimal cost—safety is key.
