The 428H*102L is a high-performance roller chain tailored for motorcycle drivetrains, where reliable power transfer between engine and wheels is critical. Its "428H" code refers to the universal heavy-duty (H) 428-series pitch (12.7mm/0.5 inch)—optimized for enhanced tensile strength to handle high torque from mid-displacement engines. The "102L" denotes a 102-link length, calibrated to match OEM specs of 125–400cc motorcycles, eliminating the need for link cutting during installation.
428H heavy-duty design boosts tensile strength, easily handling torque loads from 125–400cc engines without stretching or snapping.
Heat-treated (HRC 52–56) rollers, pins, and plates minimize abrasion, extending service life by 30% vs. standard 428 chains.
Zinc plating or black oxide coating prevents rust and oxidation, adapting to wet, dusty, or humid riding environments.
102-link length directly fits popular models (e.g., Honda CB300, Yamaha YBR250), enabling quick, tool-friendly replacement.
Fits 125–400cc cruisers, nakeds, and sport bikes (e.g., Kawasaki Ninja 300) as the primary drivetrain chain.
Used in 150–250cc off-road models (e.g., Suzuki DR-Z250) for reliable power transfer on rough terrain.
Compatible with 150–350cc ATVs/UTVs for work or recreational off-road use.
Ideal for DIY projects or replacement where 428H pitch and 102-link length are specified.

"428H" refers to the heavy-duty (H) universal 428-series pitch of 12.7mm (0.5 inch), designed for enhanced tensile strength to support high-torque loads. "102L" indicates a chain length of 102 links, pre-calibrated for standard motorcycle installations.
This chain is engineered to match OEM specifications for mid-displacement motorcycles between 125cc and 400cc, including street bikes, dual-sports, off-road dirt bikes, and light ATVs/UTVs.
The chain is manufactured from heat-treated alloy steel (40CrMnMo) with parts hardened to HRC 52–56. It is treated with zinc plating or a black oxide coating for superior rust protection and weathering resistance.
It features a minimum tensile strength of 3,800 N (854 lbs) and offers an average service life of 15,000 to 25,000 km, depending on regular maintenance and proper lubrication.
No. The 102-link setup is designed as a direct-fit replacement for popular motorcycle models like the Honda CB300 and Yamaha YBR250, allowing for tool-friendly installation without the need to cut links.
The chain can operate safely within a broad temperature range of -25°C to 160°C (-13°F to 320°F), making it highly reliable in both cold and high-heat riding environments.
