Chain stretch?

[turbobusa2000]

I know what the stock chain service limit is. My question is with an aftermarket chain is the figure the same or different. I don't have the package that my RK zvx chain came in and I've had the chain for over 10k and it's turbo bike. I've done many, many hard pulls on it. Does anyone know what the service limit is for that particular chain?

Any thoughts.

Use the stock limits for all chains. The sprockets are the key, not the chain.

Thanks, what do you mean, "sprockets are the key". To chain life?

Methinks he means the determining factor of chain stretch is the pitch, or distance from peak to peak on your sprocket. If the chain is stretched too much and doesn't match up to the sprocket then bad things can happen as you can imagine. Someone please correct me if I missed TruWrecks point.

Methinks your right. That makes sense. I never thought about it that way.
