RK Clip Link - 428HSB Gold

The RK GS428HSB Clip Link in gold is a replacement master link for RK 428HSB drive chains, suited to small-displacement motorcycles, pit bikes, and trail bikes running a 428-pitch chain. The clip-type closure allows the drive chain to be fitted or removed without a chain riveting tool, making it a practical choice for routine chain maintenance.

Produced by RK, a Japanese manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in motorcycle drive chain components, this link is intended as a like-for-like replacement when reconnecting an RK 428HSB chain.

• Clip-type (spring clip) closure — no chain riveting tool required for fitting or removal
• Designed for use with RK 428HSB 428-pitch drive chains
• Gold finish to match RK gold 428HSB chain
• Suits small-displacement motorcycles, pit bikes, and trail bikes running 428-pitch chains

Install the spring clip with its closed end facing the direction of chain travel — this prevents the clip from releasing under load and is the most critical step in fitting.
Never reuse a clip link once it has been removed; always fit a new one whenever the chain is disconnected.
Confirm the chain pitch and series match 428HSB specification before installing this link.
After fitting, apply a motorcycle-specific chain lubricant to the side plates and rollers of the links immediately adjoining the master link.
Check and adjust chain tension to the motorcycle manufacturer's specified range before riding.
Visually inspect the spring clip before each ride to confirm it remains correctly seated and has not shifted.
If any sign of deformation, corrosion, or movement is found on the clip or side plates, replace the master link immediately.
