i've heard a story of one breaking and having a guy off on another forum not to scare you or anything but think i'll stick to did's.

[ThEGr33k]

Humph. :(

[zsv650]

sounded a bit negative that post did but it's only what the guy said happened i'd just say as with all chain's keep a close eye on em.

Iris is perfectly good chain.

I've seen a broken one of every brand you can think of.

Seems like fools economy to use cheap chain. Half the price, but only a third of the mileage.

maybe they are so poop that people don't touch em with a bargepole, so therefore theres no reviews or owt:confused:

[ThEGr33k]

I dont know... Not even google brings much up. Sigh. It was one the old man got me while I was sat on the side of the road. I looked at it and it seems solid, no bend in it (in the wrong place - side to side) well greased and a generally decent finish. Its apparently the top of their range chain I got, the FB ring, whatever that means, only their site says anything about it... and then not much. :rolleyes:

All in it seems ok. Guess we will see. If I get more engine DMG then I guess its a good excuse to put me an RSV-R engine :p Chris fancy helping me do a change if it comes to it? :cool:

So long as its italian-ness promises not to spread to anything else in my garage.

[dizzyblonde]

TBH I would stop getting paranoid about it. Keep it cleaned regularly, make sure it don't run dry again, and inspect it regular.......it should be fine.

I had a IRIS chain fitted to my sv , it was knackered after 8k miles ( with scotoiler) , I complained and got a Tsbukai replacement free , its been on 12k and had to adjust twice and looks good for 30 k +

Cheers Steveg

Oh dear... Best keep a good eye on it then, how was it knackered?

It was worn out , stretched to the amount could not adjust into spec and could almost pull off rear sprocket ....

Don't think IRIS chains are dangerous , just don't last
