Chain Information Dimensia!

I'm trying to find a gold x type chain, -1 front and +2 sprocket kit for my 90. I've heard good and bad about RK and DID. I'm looking for some insight and possibly a link for purchase.

:unsure:

 

I have DID chains on both my bikes. The one on my VFR (530ZVM2) has only been there about 1,000 miles or so. The one on my V-Strom (525ERV) has been there about 15,000 miles. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, they are good chains.

 

avoid aluminum rear sprockets since they wear very quickly

 

Quick question regarding measuring and adjusting chain specs on a 2007 VFR. Should the bike be on the center stand or side stand when taking a measurement for recommended slack? Thanks.

 

I have had good luck with EK Chains (Enuma Chain Co) LINK

I believe they invented the O-ring chain IIRC...

 

Whats! you talking about willus

 

"1974
630STO is the world’s first O-ring chain, extending wear life by as much as 10 times compared to non-sealed chains. Also introduced 530-sized O-ring chains. O-ring chain patent awarded in 1978 (Japan patent #1215953; U.S. patent #4424050)"

Check out 1974 on the time line: Link

 

LOL I was just puling your leg. I've heard good things about EK but since I have a great contact at the RK head quarters I'm sticking with them.
