About DID
Japanese-engineered motorcycle drive chains — the OEM-supply standard
DID (Daido Kogyo) is the OEM chain supplier for many Japanese motorcycle manufacturers and one of the most respected names in motorcycle drive chains worldwide. The brand's chains range from the entry-tier standard chain through the X-ring premium VX2 and gold-finished ZVM-X racing series — covering every motorcycle category from commuter to MotoGP.
Chaparral Motorsports has been an authorized motorcycle and powersports dealer since 1980. We stock DID alongside the full range of motorcycle, ATV, and UTV gear, and our parts counter can confirm fitment and compatibility before you order.
