This is the genuine Royal Enfield 520‐size rivet master link for motorcycles that use the factory 520×103 drive chain. Official assignment pages list the part as “CHAIN RIVET LINK, 520” under RAT00217/A; it mates with the OE 520 chain (RAT00218/A – 520, 103 link) used on the new-gen 350s. Use this when you’re replacing a chain, joining an OE chain, or converting from a split link to a safer rivet link. Because it’s OEM, pin diameter, plate thickness and o-ring stack height match the factory chain for a proper peen and long life—no binding, no premature stretch.

Confirmed fitment covers the J-platform 350 family (Meteor 350, Classic 350 Reborn, Hunter 350) and current Bullet 350 BS6 (J-platform) that run the 520×103 chain. We only list models backed by fiche/dealer sources; see table below.

FAQs

Will this fit older UCE 350/500 or 650 Twins?
Not listed here. This listing is for J-platform 350s running the OE 520×103 chain. Check your VIN fiche if in doubt.

Rivet vs split link—what’s better?
Rivet links are stronger and more secure for road use. If you must use a split link temporarily, Hitchcocks sells one that states suitability for the factory chain RAT00217. 

Do I need a special tool?
Yes, a 520-size chain riveting tool to flare the pin heads to spec. Follow the tool’s gauge measurements.

Can I mix with aftermarket 520 chains?
Use OE link with the OE chain. Aftermarket chains generally require their own brand-specific master link.

How do I confirm before ordering?
Open your VIN-specific fiche. If it shows RAT00217(/A) for the master link (and RAT00218/A chain), you’re good.
