BikeMaster 520 Chain Link Kit - 197555

The BikeMaster 520 Chain Link Kit (Part #197555) is a purpose-built master link kit designed to work with 520-pitch motorcycle drive chains. Whether you're replacing a worn master link during routine drivetrain maintenance or finishing a fresh chain install, this kit gives you the correct hardware to close and secure a 520-series chain properly. BikeMaster designed this link kit to complement their own line of 520 chains, and it's rated for street bikes up to 1,000cc and off-road machines up to 750cc — making it a versatile small-parts solution for a wide range of riders.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Strength Steel Construction: Built from high-strength steel for the durability and load-bearing reliability that a critical drivetrain component demands — you're not relying on a flimsy link to hold your chain together at speed.
• Solid Rollers: Solid roller design promotes lower friction and more efficient power transfer, keeping your drivetrain running smoothly between full chain replacements.
• Performance-Focused Design: Developed with low-friction power transfer in mind, so the link itself doesn't become a weak point in an otherwise well-maintained drivetrain.
• Perfect Match for BikeMaster 520 Chains: Specifically developed as a companion to the BikeMaster line of 520-pitch chains — if you're already running a BikeMaster 520 chain, this is the recommended link kit to use when shortening or reconnecting it.
• Broad Engine Size Compatibility: Suitable for street motorcycles up to 1,000cc and off-road bikes up to 750cc, covering a large portion of the sport, standard, and dual-sport segments that commonly use 520-pitch chains.
• Complete Closing Hardware Included: Ships with the half link, roller, and two clip links needed to properly close a 520 chain — no hunting for individual pieces separately.

Fitment

This link kit is designed for use with 520-pitch drive chains on motorcycles and off-road bikes. Per BikeMaster's own guidelines, it is rated for street motorcycles with engines up to 1,000cc and off-road machines with engines up to 750cc. The 520 chain pitch is common across a broad range of sport bikes, naked bikes, dual-sport, and enduro platforms from manufacturers including Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, KTM, and others.

Important: BikeMaster explicitly states that this chain hardware must be correctly matched to your machine's size and power output. Failure to do so could result in chain failure, machine or property damage, serious injury, or death. It is the installer's responsibility to confirm correct fitment before use. If you have any doubts, consult a qualified technician prior to installation.

This kit is not intended for use with 525, 530, 428, 420, or other chain pitches — only 520-series chains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What exactly comes in the BikeMaster 520 Chain Link Kit #197555?
A: The kit includes a 1/2 link, one roller, and two clip links — everything you need to properly close and secure a 520-pitch chain after sizing or replacement.

Q: Is this the same as the BikeMaster 520 Chain Master Link (part #197554)?
A: No. Part #197554 is a separate BikeMaster 520 Chain Master Link product. Part #197555 is the 520 Chain Link Kit, which includes the half link, roller, and clip links as a set. Make sure you're ordering the correct part number for your application.

Q: What bikes and engine sizes is this chain link kit rated for?
A: BikeMaster rates this kit for street motorcycles up to 1,000cc and off-road bikes up to 750cc that use a 520-pitch drive chain. Always verify your chain pitch matches 520 before ordering — using the wrong pitch link is a safety hazard.

Q: Can I use this link kit with any brand of 520 chain, or only BikeMaster chains?
A: BikeMaster markets this as a perfect match for their own line of 520 chains. While the 520 pitch is an industry-standard specification, BikeMaster's safety guidance states the chain hardware must be correctly matched to your machine and installed correctly. When in doubt about cross-brand compatibility, consult a professional technician or contact our fitment team before use.
