Lots of debate on the chains. If you stay with the top chain for each maufacture you will be fine.What is the best/strongest chain for the Busa and how much does it cost? Do I really need to change the front or rear sprocket if getting new chain with only 4500 miles on her? Everything looks great except for the amount of chain stretch I have had. Do you have to get a different chain if you switch to a 43 rear sprocket? Where is the best palce to get both a new chain and sprocket? Brand/size/everything? TIA

EK 530 zvx gold or silver is what I run with over 200lbs of torque. I love the chain and run the silver which is harder to fine. This is one of the strongest chain @ 11800lbs
Strongest is EK 530 DRV which is used for drag racing a lot. Can be used for street but you will have to find rivit master links. Most of the master links come as clip for easy removal I guess.
also if you can and have may miles on the sprokets change them all. If something happened to the chain and the sprokets all look good use them. Just remember to inspect very close for round and side-side.
Hey, I went out to the site to order a new chain and it's asking for the size. 120 to 160. What's that? The wheel size? What should I pick for a stock 'busa?Lots of debate on the chains.

They are asking for how many links you want. Stock chain is 112 links but most shops only sale 120 links so you would have to use a chain break tool and cut extra links off. Let me know what kind of chain you want and the brand and if it is EK then I can get you 112 links and it will also be cheaper then them.Hey, I went out to the site to order a new chain and it's asking for the size. 120 to 160.

Just slap me upside the head and call me a newbie. Size = number of links in the chain. I'll learn these things a little at a time.Hey, I went out to the site to order a new chain and it's asking for the size. 120 to 160. What's that? The wheel size? What should I pick for a stock 'busa?
