EK ZZZ all the chain you will ever need. Have yet to adjust it after 3000 miles.

Stock length and gearing calls for a ZVX (if you go EK), but they are only recommended up to 170 horses; anymore than that go with the ZZZ - ping Charles at Street and Track or Josh at Ryders Connection... both can get ya a good deal (and yer helping the board!) +1 on the new sprockets!

Clinton Cycles in MD? I used to go there all the time when I lived in Lexington Park.... usually on my way to DC.

Also, there is a chain and sprockets raffle going on... just might want to look at that....

Tsubaki is too much chain, I think...cuz you are going to lube or wax anyway...and the rest will be holding up as you maintain em...

We sale a lot of EK ZVX and ZZZ chains for the busa. Vortex makes a good sprocket but if you are doing hard pulls or lots of wheelies stay with a steel rear.

I will be, very shortly, in the market for a new chain and sprockets. I have seen comments on "going through the board" for better deals. I also would appreciate suggestions on what type of chain and sprockets (not size, I'm sticking with stock) should I purchase. The only caveat is, the rear sprocket has to be black ( I got to keep it clean).

A little background info: I have a PC, aftermarket exhaust and I drag race a lot. Eventually I will be returning to the States where I will run into the higher speeds.

Any help???
