How can you tell the difference between a 420 and a 428. My pitbike is from the land of 1 billion people and the chain has no marks like the RK and DID chains do. Does anyone know how to measure a chain and determine its size?

Information about chain size from Welcome to [email protected]

A motorcycle chain is the most common method used to connect and drive the rear wheel in a motorcycle. The others are belt drive and shaft drive.

Chain size is in inches, the three digit number used to discribe the chain size is based on the "rule of eights". The first digit is for chain pitch. This is the distance between the pins. The second and third digits combine for roller width, with a decimal point inserted between the second and third digits.

For example, a 420 chain has a pitch of 4/8" = 1/2" (12.70mm) and a roller width of 2.0/8" = 1/4" (6.35mm).

So a 428 chain has the same pitch as a 420 but the roller width is 2.8/8" = 8.89mm.

Hope this helps and explains why 420 and 428 chains and sprocket won't mix.
