Good morning all.


What's a little worrying is that they don't state the manufacturer of the chain, or its grade.
There's some right old tosh out there, that may be gold & have X rings, but has the tensile strength of knicker elastic.

As said, try B&C Express.


Cheers.

My cahin constantly rusts up aswell, and I clean and lube regularly :( my dad's colleuge had the same problem with his (OEM suzuki) chain and just coated the side plates with grease, and kept the rollers lubed with engine oil

Barwel, on Ebay, try this....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SV650S-SV650-S...item4cee2b7ae8

Its the ebay site for DK Motorcycles. I had this kit on the SV and was great. Plus saves you a few notes on the one you posted.

If you are after better qulaity chain, then try Tsubaki (Is that spelt right?!?!?!) lol. As I know Spannerman and others have said they are better quality.

Doh.....just noticed you put "Gold". Are you specifically after a Gold chain? If not, then the one I posted is fine. If yes.....please ignore said post!!! :D

lmao no not after gold :P

this is the same i think but for a Naked LINK

cheers Drew will look at that as well, at least i will have some spare cash to get it fitted

Re: X-Ring gold chain ?
 
As for getting it fitted, with the spare £20, buy yourself a chain reviter and do it yourself. Really rewarding I found. Plus, gives you the chance to clean all the back wheel and swingarm properly whilst its all off. Just a thought

Re: X-Ring gold chain ?
 
there is that, but i found doing it on push bikes in a real pain in the ass, plus dont i need a impact wrench for the front sprocket ? or just put it in gear ?
