Chains???

[dr.nick]

Hi,on a stock geared bike(2000),how many links?..
and which chain is the best/most popular

 

[dadofthree]

Believe 112 links

 

[jjmetheny]

The stock chain is 112 links and the ek zvx & zzz seem to be fairly popular.

I changed to the EK ZZZ and love it...... doesn't seem to want to stretch at all. However, I'm sure there are plenty of really good chains out there and yes, stock is 112 links

Contact site sponsor Street and track, Charles can fix you up with an EK 530 ZZZ. I got one from him a few weeks ago.

I'm thinking of going with the Krause Racing chain and doing a 520 conversion. Somehow I don't think strength will be an issue...

They also have titanium/moly sprockets with a lifetime guarantee!

I'm sorry but any company that list extreme horsepower and Fat-Tire Hayabusas in the same sentence just doesn't seem right

.

Krause/Sidewinder has developed a special limited production chain exclusively reserved for extreme horsepower applications
such as 300 ft, 1/8, 1/4, mile drags; Dune Dragsters and Frankenstien Quads with monster street engines; Fat -Tire Hayabusas; Big
street bike 520 conversion kits; Hillclimbers with NOS and other extended swingarm, Fire-Breathing beasts. This chain is called
"Extreme Performance XP" limited edition chain. This chain is available with or without SR-51 "Smart Rings"in Double Gold only.
Tensile strength exceeds 17,000 lbs. Almost double anything else made.[/Quote]

I'll stick with the EK 530 zzz... I've always been happy with them.

Hey some one has to try em. How we gona know? They look Hi Tech! But most of the 520 conv kits aren't offered anymore for the hyper horsy bikes.:29

530ZZZ, on spray got over 250hp doesn't show any sign of wear and hasn't even started to stretch.
