My ZX6 had an EK chain from new - that lasted 53,000 Scottoilered miles.

Good morning all.


As with all the reputable manufacturers EK do chains in several different grades. So, providing it is a high grade chain it should be good enough.
As Sid says, they're original equipment on Kawasakis & as they're usually a high grade one they last well.
I personally prefer Tsubaki. As they tend to be a little cheaper than DID etc. Use their SG grade premium chain & you can't go far wrong.

Avoid Iris & other such tat at all costs!


Cheers.
