I need a new chain!

[kawiboy11]

Guys, my chain is shot, I believe it was a 10,000 lb tensile strength chain. Though, not anymore. How long do chains last? Next question, what chain should I go with. I was told to get the EK Triple ZZZ, said it's the best, though I also found this chain, here are the links to both. The other chain is a 11,500 lb tensile strength chain, the ZZZ is only 11,000, help me out guys!

Someone correct me if I`m wrong.

DRZ2 is drag racing chain, no o-rings

Get the ZZZ

You are correct.

Ping Charles at street and track for a price. He may be able to get in the ballpark on the price.

So get the ZZZ your saying, not the other chain? Even with the turbo set-up?

 

[Professor]

I think the main advantage the DRZ2 is going to have over X-Ring (ZZZ) is less HP loss in the chain. Typically a sealed chain will last longer than an open link chain.

GPW was also working with some Sidewinder products with even higher tensile ratings.


Tensile rating is not necessarily a measurement of resistant to wear. It is a measurement of resistance to breakage.


So you'll have to ask yourself"¦"¦Is this a race bike or street bike? Are you willing to keep it lubed and put up with some of the additional lubricants that fling off? Is loosing a few HP on the sealed chains ok?

 

[kawiboy11]

so your saying the the zzz is more work, you have to lubricate it, and the other chain you don't have to?

 

[Professor]

The ZZZ is a sealed X-ring requiring less maintenance than the DRZ which is not sealed.

 

[kawiboy11]

ok, then i will get the zzz! Thanks for your help!

[Mr Bogus]

I would suggest you also replace the front and rear sprocket with the chain..

 

[kawiboy11]

I am going to replace the rear sprocket, & put a 43 vortex, with the new ZZZ chain!

 

[kawiboy11]

do these zzz chains not have a normal master link, anybody dealt with one?

do these zzz chains not have a normal master link, anybody dealt with one?

they use a rivet master link...it should be included with your chain when you buy it

looks like this

 

[kawiboy11]

Ah, ok, just wanted to make sure! Thanks!

Do you need a special tool to put it on?

 

[Rhythm]

Charles will have everything you need to cut and press on your new chain.!

 

[rockadaous]

Cody, call Charles at street n track he will line you out. Someone up near you is sure to have a chain tool. If not OMSLAW has one he may be willing to work a loaner program for you, but with your drag racing a tool would be a good investment.
