jayzx10r Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thanks Jay, I went ahead and ordered this one. http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/43/53/222/958/-/3591/RK-520EXW-Gold-XW-RING-Chain You're Welcome. Idk how many links you ordered but that's the one I use and recommend. Since you're in Virginia, meet up with my bud Jasons. He and I have ridden a lot at Glamis but he moved to Suffolk last year....good guy. Another guy near him that seems cool is Surfjag, another VA dude.

Another guy near him that seems cool is Surfjag, another VA dude. Thanks Jay, I really am glad you popped in here and submitted your knowledge. Hell, I thought I was doing good when I ordered the chain and then when I got it I saw that it was not an o'ring chain, Strike 1. Then you tell me it's for a motocross motorcycle and that was Strike 2, and in this Hobby I say Strike two your out. I didn't see your post before I ordered the chain so to be safe I got 116 links. Price was $84.99 It was probably a good idea that I didn't get the 110 link one because I'm also switching up sprockets both steel. I'm going from a 13/41 to a 14/42. I sure did like that price on the eBay link you sent me. Heck it's almost worth buying two of them to have a spare. Jay to be honest with you I believe when you say your Bud's are cool but Suffolk is about 2 hours from me and I got a awesome Bud that lives literally next store to me lol. I love this part of my Bud, He has a Craptor 700 and I beat him every time we run'm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanF Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I work in the Industrial Power Transmission business and I sell DID (Daido) industrial chain. If their Dirt Bike and ATV chain is half as good as their industrial roller chain you should be in great shape. Daido knows their sh.t when it comes to chain. You shouldn't be disappointed with DID chain at all. That being said, O-Ring chain while it does create more friction than non O-ring chain it also protects the rollers and the pins in the chain from outside crap (sand,Dirt etc) I would pay a little more for the 520ATV that DID sells.

I use an o-ring DID on both my cr250, and when I had my banshee. Never had any issues whatsoever. I first tried an RK chain on my Banshee, and it seemed to stretch, and never stop stretching. I was constantly tightening my chain. When I put the DID on, it stretched a small amount initially, but after the first trip, I never had to touch it again. I guess like buying any product, you get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
