D.I.D Motorcycle Chains, Parts, Tools

If you’re used to putting your motorcycle to the test, having a capable driveline on it is a must. A strong, durable chain is what ensures reliable power transfer from the engine to the rear wheel. And when it comes to choosing the chain that can withstand the extreme conditions on the track or trail, you can’t go wrong with the D.I.D. brand name. D.I.D. chains are used by top racers worldwide. Established in 1933, this company is a major OE supplier to Japanese and European motorcycle makers. It is also the preferred choice of competition teams in AMA MX and SX, MotoGP, and other forms of racing.

D.I.D. has on-road and off-road racing chains for a variety of applications, all of which are made in Kaga, Ishikawa prefecture, Japan. These are lightweight yet highly rigid chains that resist deformation and elongation. They are engineered to minimize power-robbing pin flex and ensure improved response and handling. One of the key technologies that ensure the winning performance and extreme strength of these products is SDH pin treatment. It covers pin surface in a hard chromium carbide layer that adds toughness, while keeping the core soft and resilient to absorb shock loads. D.I.D. motorcycle chains are made from special steel alloy and built for use on specific applications.

If you want a ready-made solution with all of the guesswork taken out of chain and sprocket matching, then D.I.D. chain and sprocket kits are for you. There are street and off-road kits that contain a highly strong steel sprocket and a D.I.D. chain that provide a direct fit. When it’s time to replace the chain on your bike, the D.I.D. chain tool will come in real handy. It is a compact and durable tool made from forged steel that can be used for cutting, riveting links, and press fitting link plates. In addition to chains, there are D.I.D. motorcycle rims designed to take a beating. Their 7-series aluminum alloy construction makes them lightweight yet stronger than your factory rims, while full compatibility with OE hubs, spokes, and nipples ensures ease of lacing up.
