Hey guys. Looking to pick up a new chain. My DID chain has lasted me for almost 4 years, but its time to switch it up.
My question to the community is do any of you have any experience with RK Chains? My buddy races Supermoto and really puts his bikes through hell and he swears by them.
DiD is a very high quality chain...
the best one ever though has to be a renthal R4 atv Z ring chain...
Fit it, ride a little, re adjust and it very rarely ever needs adjusting again..
They have thicker plates and pins due to the extra abuse a quad gives over a bike..
Yeah, I have had no real issues with my DID chain at all. It's just old and ready to be replaced.
I found the Renthal chain on Amazon for $83 with free shipping. This is definitely a contender and I appreciate the suggestion. My sprocket is Renthal, so they may go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Oh god, please no references to "peanut butter jelly time"!
I have had good luck with Primary Drive x-ring chains from Rocky Mountain. My 400ex had an RK chain from the previous owner. I don't know how many hours were on it before me, but I replaced it with a Primary Drive after about a year. Still running that chain today.
yeah, unbranded and cheap ones ! they will stretch and need re adjusting every ride out..
A snapping chain can wreck the case saver mountings and ruin your day.. why risk a cheap one?
I think if you stick with the known brands listed here you will be ok. Chains are a lot like lucky gym socks during the playoffs: If it works, most people won't change (brands) until something bad happens.
Again, I was extremely pleased with the DID that I currently have. I was just looking at contrasts and comparisons mainly due to costs vs. performance.
You can do all the research you want by reading online reviews, but I always appreciate feedback from our members since we are a community of well informed and experienced riders. For the most part.
First off, thanks for all the input from my fellow enthusiasts.
Second, I took the advice from several of you recommending the Renthal chain. I found the R4 ATV Z Ring chain for an unbelievable $23.95 on Amazon. Yeah, that's a brand new chain that retails for close to $100 bucks. It even had the latex gloves! Why so cheap? Well the box had a "blemish". No $h!t.
Now I can't find the old topic. But the conversation was if stock was 70 or 80 and I swear it came out to 80 was stock.
So is 70 stock then?
I'm running 13 tooth front and stock rear sprocket.
