It's a little price heavy but I like the DID ERV3 520 chain with whatever sprockets you like.

RK chains seem to have a good reputation, I only found this out after buying a DID X-ring one though.... maybe I'll try RK next time.

Re: Any Recommendation on New Chain?

I was just illustrating a definition for the word you emphasized, I have used them for years, and not that many of them, the only reason I would change them was to change gearing for different tracks, never because anything happened to them, the 44 tooth I used for the road was just replaced after 7 years and 10k miles, nothing but good experiences here thats all I was saying.

wow, that's honestly impressive that a sprocket lasted that long. i don't have a ton of experience with motorcycles (only been riding for almost 2 years now) but i've never heard of sprockets being on that long. that was the aluminum vortex?

Re: Any Recommendation on New Chain?

Go with stock size and steel. Go with a DID xring chain. It will last a lot longer than 520 with AL sprockets and it is a street bike
