Royal Enfield 888278 – Chain & Sprocket Kit (535cc) for Continental GT 535 (Euro 3 & Euro 4) – Genuine OEM

The Royal Enfield 888278 – Chain and Sprocket Kit (535cc) is the genuine OEM final drive kit used on the Continental GT 535. Official Royal Enfield dealer catalogues list part number 888278 as “CHAIN AND SPROCKET KIT – 535CC”, supplied as a certified genuine spare identical to the kit fitted at the factory.

Continental GT 535 Euro 3 rear chain/sprocket diagram, while a dedicated kit listing from a major French Royal Enfield dealer explicitly names it “COMPLETE CHAIN KIT CONTINENTAL GT 535 EURO3 EURO4” with reference 888278. This gives strong confirmation that 888278 is the correct OEM chain kit for both Euro 3 and Euro 4 GT 535 models.

Unlike generic kits on marketplaces, this original kit is engineered for the 535cc UCE café-racer platform – correct pitch, correct gearing, correct carrier interface and sprocket offset. That means smoother power delivery, reduced vibration and predictable chain life when maintained properly.

If your Continental GT 535 has crossed high mileage, shows hooked teeth, noisy chain, or inconsistent slack, replacing the entire set with the 888278 genuine kit restores the crisp, tight feel of a fresh GT drivetrain. Ideal for restorations, export rebuilds, and enthusiast-maintained GT 535s, this is the kit to use when you want OE reliability and fitment with no guesswork.

FAQs

Q1. Which bikes does 888278 fit exactly?
All official assignment and dealer pages agree that 888278 is the OE chain & sprocket kit for the Continental GT 535 (535cc UCE café-racer), covering Euro 3 and Euro 4 versions. We do not list any other bikes to avoid returns.

Q2. Is this kit genuine Royal Enfield or aftermarket?
This listing is for a genuine Royal Enfield kit. European microfiche portals label 888278 as a “certified Royal Enfield genuine spare part – Chain and Sprocket Kit – 535cc”.

Q3. How is this better than a universal chain kit?
The OEM kit maintains stock GT 535 gearing, chain length, offset and alignment, so the bike rides exactly as designed – no guesswork about sprocket sizes, chain pitch or fitment. Generic kits may physically fit but can alter gearing, cause noise, or shorten chain/sprocket life.

Q4. When should I replace the chain & sprocket kit?
Replace the kit if your chain has tight spots, frequent adjustment, rust, or your sprocket teeth are hooked/pointed. Most GT 535s benefit from a full OEM kit change rather than just a chain replacement once wear becomes noticeable.

Q5. Does the kit include everything needed?
The 888278 kit includes the core drive components (front sprocket, rear sprocket and chain) as supplied by Royal Enfield. Re-use your existing fasteners unless damaged; if you need fresh nuts/bolts, add them separately to your order.
