DID 520 ERVT X-Ring Chain- Comparison to the VT2 

Another great video & timely, too, saw it when I realized the VT@ had been discontinued

I run the exact same setup, bulletproof. I do NOT run the Supersprox front sprocket only OEM front sprocket. Alot of aftermarket front sprockets are hardened which wears away at the splines on the output shaft alot faster. OEM front wears faster but is a cheap item to replace when needed. Off topic, i have just purchased a 2019 250 TPI. Bike is a amazing, no issues. I have seen a few videos on an idle screw fix instead of using the air bypass screw. Have you experimented with this or researched the subject at all? I don’t believe what i hear most of the time, but i do trust your opinions and research. Very professional channel and in depth breakdowns

I switched from the vt2 to a JT nickel plate xring. It was significantly cheaper and despite not marketed for off-road it has served me well. The nickel plating works to stop surface rust, a problem I had with the vt2.

Video request, in depth inspection of sprocket wear. 😊

Superb video.Would be even more great if you could make video chow to check If the chain is worn out end need replacing.I have 80 hours light riding and i do not know If it need replacing or will be fine for longer.Best Regards from UK

always was a vt2 buyer

How is the DID ervt chain holding up? Is it as good as the vt2?

If the chain it too long do you need a chain breaker ?? Is does come with a master link

I bought a DID 520 VX3 to replace my current chain. I wanted to see how it compares to the ones presented here (the difference is in the no of links 118 instead of 116 so I needed to calculate the link weight): 520 VT2 => 1720/116=14.8275 grams 520 ERVT => 1703/116 = 14.6810 grams 520 VX3 => 1800/118 = 15.25 grams (greased, as taken out of the box, without the master link) 520 VX3 Link thickness = 1.92mm Even though it should probably work fine, I am not sure I bought the right chain...

Did you have to rivet those pins?

Thank you for the video. Do you regularly lube your chain?

I currently have the VT2 chain. How do you determine it needs a replacement? It hasn't stretched, but I do got a lot of side to side stretch when applying force, I can get the chain move from the slider on each side. I have about 80 hours on it.

How long does a typical chain last you? I just picked up the same chain for my crf450 and I'm curious with your maintenance how much life you get out of your chain/sprockets.

Approximately how many hours of use? can you use this ERVT7 chain before changing it? cordial greetings from guadalajara mexico

kind of a similar topic, i have the 2024 300 xc and i find 1st gear is way to low, i dont ride fast, so my question to you is what would you recommend for both front and rear tooth sprockets to make first gear more useable in heavy woods or slow lugging (presently 48 rear and 14 tooth front both factory) any ideas would be helpful, thank you.

How many hours do you typically use a chain before replacement ?

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

How many hours do you get from the VT2 and from the Supersporx sprocket?

Try a Regina Chain. I only by Regina,120 hours of riding without problems

Looks like an O ring Chain
