Chain and Sprockets

[Saxoplay]

Well...the busa just turned a bit over 16k and it looks like the chain is about due for replacement. What do you all suggest for chain and sprocket upgrades? Also, is the replacement something that I could do myself or should I plan on taking it to a local shop? Thanks in advance.

Unless you are REALLY concerned about weight savings, get a steel rear sprocket.

Fairly easy install, but you will need a rivit tool. As an alternative, look at the ZVM2 chain with the optional bolt on style master link.

I am impressed that you were able to get 16K on the original chain. WOW!

I upgraded to the 43t Vortex Cat5 myself. Somebody makes a sprocket with an aluminum inner and steel teeth...cool colors too. Begins with an "R" I believe.

let me know how long and color of a chain you want and what color sprockets in alum or steel and how many teeth.

Yep, those are them, but they weren't listed at $129.99 in the mag I saw. And they come in various colors. Lighter than all steel but still heavier than the all aluminum sprockets like the Cat5.

I bought the EK ZVX2 chain and a 42 tooth Vortex. I think the extra money for the ZZZ is rediculous and overkill
for 99% of all street riders. IMO

Can do you a package deal cheaper with stronger chain.

I'm sitting at 12,000 miles on the stock chain/sprockets and it's still pretty good.

Hopefully I can make it a bit farther.
