article in the back of the new Motorcyclist mag by DID guy Robert Palmer is really good---when my swingarm comes in I WAS going to go Sigma series, I've changed my mind now. DID X it is!

BUMMER! Schnitz doen't carry them...

I put a DID on 1100 Katana. The best improvement I could ever do. Before the chain, the bike dynoed at 120HP at the tire. I didn't dyno after the chain, but I swear I got 5HP from the swap. The seemed some much quicker and way more responsive with the DID. When my stock chain goes, there won't be any thought to what I will put on!!

Yep----DID Xring 530vm, but be sure to use a rivet master link.

I have to agree with the other guys here. I put a DID X-ring 530 VM gold series on my ZX11 at 20,000 miles and I swear the bike felt so much smoother, more responsive. This chain has very little friction. Do make sure you buy the matching rivet link for $6.95 cause it completes the whole chain.

Also, don't skimp on the sprockets. For about $75 more you can get a set of front & rear sprockets that would make the difference between a chain that lasts and one that doesn't.

Well, I jumped the fence again after talking to themotorhead and JohnnyCheese, just ordered the Tsbaki 530 Sigma Oring from Schnitz.
