The unfaired has a different sprocket size, just specify a "non s" one.

I just purchased a DID normal coloured Premium Xring chain and Powerite carbon steel sprockets for £79.95 with free delivery. Whats the deal with you lot finding silly expensive kits which do the same job? I dont get it, you must have money to burn!

Note your mileage then come back to us with the final mileage when you change the Sprockets or Chain . We shall see if the extra pennies are worth it or you have managed to find a good bargain versus mileage , will be interesting to see if it was worth it or not .

You were had, got mine for £69.99.

ricky, they are on ebay (D & K motorcycles) but they are mail order too.
Have heard a few people slate them but I'm happy, although don't know how long the sprockets are likely to last.

What number refers to the grade?

My chain is DID 525VX-108ZB, does the 525 refer to the grade?
Please excuse my ignorance.

525 is pitch, 108 is number of links. VX is the grade.

I think that is lower than recommended but I'm not at all sure. I'm not familiar with DID marking as I use tsubaki stuff.
