Gen 3 Chain

[Robert 0046]

When i stretched my Gen 3 i changed the chain and i used the EK ZVX3 because i have had a very good experience with it in terms of durability looks and performance. As soon as you stretch yours or if you already did it which chain are you using or planning to use and why? Do you like the ones with o-rings or without?

o-ring or x-rings last longer and are quieter.

Top notch my friend!!!

lighter I'm not sure, but if you are looking a good lighter combination go to 520 and obviously you have to change sprockets. Buy you will drop at least 7 LBS of rotation force and that is super good

Not sure brother,but I'm doing my homework

Not sure brother,but I'm doing my homework

You would've had to change both sprockets.
The tensile strength of that EK 520 should be about as much as the stock 530.

I meant 525 conversion for hayabusa

Moto GP bikes run a 520 chain......and they are well over 200 rwhp and on and off the gas all the time.

They weigh alot less too.
Modern 520/525 chains should hold the Busa no problem though.

Hi. For my bike I went with a Titanium chain in 530 pitch. I also have a 20 tooth front and a 36 tooth rear.
