One piece or two.. I'm split

You can compare DID 530  VX and  ZVMX series from here: http://www.didchain.com/streetChains.html
Recommendation for 14 is 530 ZVMX.

i have EK chain on mine, been amazing. not a brand that gets mentioned a lot. http://www.motochains.com/zvx2_motorcycle_chains

I was going to add that any of the quality chains will give similar mileages .It's cheap stuff that doesn't last and needs adjusting every 5 mins

I did run an RK chain one time, reckon they had a bad batch as the wee 'o' rings or 'x' rings kept breaking & falling out, had 7 of them in the end & also tight spots, that's when I changed it out.  It had only done a few thou k's - can't recall off the top of me head, but was around 5k I think, WAY short for a chain & for one that was cleaned & lubed regularly.   Too bad, I won't go back to RK now, stick with DID.

Same as my rk Col. Bad batch i guess but never buy again. Full of rust, i thought gearbox was rooted. Even my wife said such a bad noise. I was scared to ride 5 ks to repair shop. Had me worried. Such a relief it was chain, i had dollar signs floating thru my head. First thing repair bloke said was output shaft brg.from over tight chain. I blamed Wurth chain lube but after yours, prob just a bad lot.

I just put the DID 530 ZVMX & JT sprocket kit on mine. Went for the top shelf one, as it was worth paying the difference for the extra quality/peace of mind.
What a difference it has made to my bike, as my previous chain was stretched by a full link when compared to the new one.
So much smoother and no snatching in between gear changes etc.

Thanks for your endorsement Sweaty.
Thats the exact same combo I have gone for.
They arrive wednesday next week so obviously I have delayed fitting the replacement swing arm (I opted for a 1 piece chain).

[grog]

will keep that combo in mind, if i can ever wear out my EK.

I think l have milked the last out of my chain. Been quoted $368.00 for DID 530 ZVMX chain.
Anyone know the part number for an endless version ? Do they do an Endless chain and sprocket kit ?
Thanks in advance lads.

Hi Kiwi..
I got the endless DID ZVMX off Amazon and the JT sprockets from a motorcycle parts supplier. (Forgotten which one but can look up...Though postage may be an issue).
I couldn't actually find the endless chain as part of a kit.

Removing the swing arm really isn't such a big deal once the back wheel is off..
Because I was on my own doing the work I used a car jack to raise the swing arm to the correct height before shoving it back in place.
Without the jacks support it was a sod of a job with either the shim (Right side) or the dust seals falling off.

Thanks Speedy. Didnt even think of Amazon.

If you don't get an endless one KF, have you checked the price from the link i posted previously. I payed $221 aud for the ZVMX & sprocket kit delivered to Aus (was a 15% promo discount at the time though) but way cheaper than any where else i could find.

That's a very good price Sweaty, cost me considerably more for just the chain.

rivet link works fine for me. can get an EK with screw link. the advantage of endless, im not sure.
