ZVMX or VX DID chain? - SV650.org

09-05-13, 11:33 PM

I commute on my sv650s and do a fair few miles, roughly 10k a year.
need a new chain, ive got a scottoiler ready to fit and I am just wondering if its worth buying a super heavy duty ZVMX DID chain over the heavy duty VX chain. (both on wemoto and ebay)
Also what sprockets? just the JTs (wemoto or ebay) or are any others worth the money for milage.
Is it worth going 1 tooth up at the front aswell for milage?

Thanks

Nothing wrong with wemoto ive just got it & as far as i see the chain close to OEM & the sprockets being JT will be just if not better as well. I got 22k from the OEM.

I've got the ZVM. I'd go for that as it means adjusting it less often and you are less likely to get tight spots
