KAWASAKI KLV 1000 [2004-2006] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring chain with rivet closure sets new standards in the performance and durability of motorcycle chains. This highly developed chain does not require regular relubrication, which makes it particularly low-maintenance. Motorcyclists benefit from significant time and cost savings as the usual lubrication every 1,000 km is no longer necessary.

Extensive tests in the laboratory and on the road have proven that the service life of the HPE chain is at least as long, if not longer, than that of a conventionally lubricated Z-ring chain. The innovative tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coating, one of the most advanced forms of DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coatings, is applied to the surfaces of the bushings and rollers. This coating reduces energy losses and increases the efficiency of the secondary drive thanks to the extremely high hardness of the coated surface combined with a low coefficient of friction.

Another significant advantage of the HPE chain is the minimization of environmental impact, as there is no need to clean the chain and spray lubricants during operation. The groundbreaking ta-C coating technology was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. This chain is an excellent choice for motorcyclists who value performance, durability and environmental protection.
