Yamaha XT 600 E chain
 

I'm new to this bike, but I need to replace the chain on it. It is a 2003 XT 600 E; what is the chain rating on this bike? 520 or 525? also what is the length of chain? please let me know if you can. thanks.

its a 520 chain 106 links. im bout to buy a sprocket kit and chain for my '03 xt600e. have a renthal r3 o-ring chain in mind

Thanks for your info. that is exactly what I needed to know.

How many links does the 1990 XT600E chain have?

Thanks :cool4:

Just in case you were considering it, don't join the chain with a split link (I know it's temptingly convenient!). I've popped a couple of 'em. The split links just aren't up to the strain. (This was a Yamaha DID chain). Use a proper riveted link. (Although I carry a spare split link in case of emergency repairs).

Matt :)

well.... there is 2 ways to find out.
 

Depends on the size of the sprockets........ if it 15 gearbox and 46 rear it would obviously be a bit longer than a 14/39!
easy was is either Buy NEW and fit complete sprocket & chain kit ( in which case you MAY have to take a couple of links out, i did) or just count the sideplates on the chain that is on.

it's the stock size....it's 106 links 15-45 sprockets ;) I'll probably get a DID Xring chain......and new sprockets...but I dunno if i'll keep the same sprocket syzes ;P

JT sprockets are good value for money and have lasted well on my current setup.

Thanks! btw...What syzes have you put on your bike?:cool4:

ive got std 15-45 on mine. with the 17" supermoto wheels, id toyed with lowering the rear a bit, to maybe 43, but have left it as it is. If i did more commuting, i would consider it to make drop the revs a bit at higher prolonged speeds But i ride for fun and don't do big miles in 1 trip that often
