Need a new chain

[OB_cbxchris]

EK 530 drag chain...or HQR...non-o-ring though...I`ve tried both with great results...the EK claims to be good for a 250 hp drag bike......

I need the final word on what the best chain for the money, that will hold up to my excessively abusive riding is. So, what's the best chain, assuming I can re-use the stock sprockets?

 

[OB_Best Cycle Parts]

The Tsubaki Sigma, is the strongest chain

 

[OB_godzuki 31]

How much and where can i get the best deal?How many miles are on yours,and how hard do you ride?This will be my third one in 6000 miles.

 

[vman1300]

I have a DID vm on my bike, over 2000 miles on this chain....and still going strong.

 

[OB_GSXRboy]

Tsubaki is the best chain I found...Have had them on all my dragbikes - From slicks to lots of Nitrous they don't break!

Had my last chain replaced under warrenty.It was taking a long time so I walked in the shop to see what was going on.What I saw didnt look good.Instead of a chain vise they used a block of wood and a hammer.They said this was the proper method. I dont think so.This took place at Ron&Brians in Wakegon Ill.This chain lasted 4500 miles. should I complain to Suzuki or just get a chain on my own?

If you got it warrantied once feel lucky it wont happen a second time.Why was the dealer using a link mine was endless?That is what is suppose to be on there.

Tsubaki Sigma 530. The ONLY chain capable of 1300cc. Every other 530 brand only lists a max of 1000-1100cc...

Tsubaki has a 1 yr warranty.. UNLIMITED MILAGE!! RK only has a 20,000k warranty!

johnny did'nt yours have a blue pressed pinned masterlink?

 

[OB_THE MOTORHEAD]

the sigma or the e.k. zvx will work.i have'nt had any trouble with the zvx.

 

[OB_Johnnycheese]

yes but is already on it.
RK has a solid roller drag chain and a o ring type chain that is higher than any other but you have to call them it is not listed

 

[OB_godzuki 31]

Im going with Tsubaki Sigma 530.Too many people have recomended it.The hammer&wood thing had me a little worried.While Im in there I might change a sproket.Whatever happened to those yellow boxes?Maybe an aftermarket electronics company could make a speedometer correction device.Hey Schintz,Autometer are you listening?

 

[OB_Johnnycheese]

I am working on one say the clock spins.
I also went to a Tsubaki Sigma.

 

[OB_'00Busa]

I have had good luck with the RK 530LFO. I abused it regularly with a passenger on back and only had to adjust it a couple of times during several thousand miles of riding. Just my 2 cents.

 

[OB_godzuki 31]

I saw it with my own eyes.You would think one of the best dealersin the Chicago area would have one of those.

 

[OB_KawAbuser]

RK sells a press kit for $40, works great.

Sudco has a great chain breaker.

 

[OB_godzuki 31]

Jonny chese, what is meant by clock spins,Ill add that press to my must have tool list.THANKS.

 

[OB_Johnnycheese]

As we were speaking the box I believe is ready tested to day and will get final feed back on monday /tuesday.will post

 

[OB_BullDog]

Block of wood & hammer!? Geezus!!

I use a Motion Pro press fit tool... about $80 bucks, works like a charm, clean press and never had a master link come off....

REPORT THAT DEALER!
