Genuine Rear Chain Pad for Royal Enfield Continental GT 535 | 585209/B (NR61)

If your Continental GT 535 has started making extra chain noise, or you notice the chain is rubbing the swingarm, the most common overlooked part is the rear chain pad. Royal Enfield 585209/B (NR61 Rear Chain-Pad) is the OEM plastic protector that sits on the swingarm and acts as a sacrificial surface—so the chain wears the pad, not your swingarm. 

This is a small, inexpensive part but it plays a big role in reducing chain slap, protecting swingarm paint/metal, and keeping the drivetrain feel smoother—especially on rough roads or if the chain tension is slightly off. Unlike many aftermarket pads that vary in material hardness and fit, this genuine part is made to match the original swingarm geometry and mounting points on the GT 535. 

Recommended replacement if the pad is cracked, thinning, or missing, or whenever you are doing a chain-sprocket overhaul on the GT 535 platform (commonly sold in India as the 2013–2018 Continental GT 535 generation).

FAQs (

1) What does a rear chain pad do?
It’s a swingarm protector—your chain rubs the pad under load, preventing damage to the swingarm. 

2) How do I know if my chain pad is bad?
Common signs: chain rubbing marks on swingarm, increased chain noise, pad cracked/thin/missing.

3) Is 585209 and 585209/B the same?
The genuine catalog reference shown is 585209/B; some sellers list it shortened as 585209. Always match the application to Continental GT 535.
