Wemoto and M&P are both fine. Make sure you get a decent quality set by DID or similar.

You can't go wrong with a DID, the last one I had on the SV did over 20K miles.

Fitted a DID naked chain and sprocket kit to my curvy 'S' model - 1 extra tooth on the rear for slightly nipper gearing. Very happy, always cleans up beautifully.

I bought a DID set from Demon Tweaks and fitted it last November and it needed replacing the other week. It had spat most of it's X rings out and was developing stiff links even with being lubed every tankful with MucOff chain lube and wiped down with a cloth and WD40 cleaner roughly once a month.

I can't imagine it being knock off but definitely must have been a Friday afternoon special.

Was it replaced free of charge?

So do I. The seller has been trading on Ebay since 2004 so is hopefully reputable. Two negatives on his feedback, one for something not delivered and one must be by mistake as the feedback says "Good guy thx"
