shanYE west Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I use the EK SRK X-ring chain right now.. I probably should use a non o-ring chain for what I do.. but... I'm lazy and dont like to clean and lube my chain much.. lol I've only had one failure with the EK chain.. but it was 100% my fault..

LiftdT4R Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Personally I prefer the cuban links :yelrotflmao: Chains are like pipes, everyone swears by the chain they use. Ive tried like everything under the sun on my bikes and quads. Like NYUK said, the Regina chains were nice, pre stretched is the way to go. If you take care of it, and its decent it should last a long long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Limit Powersports Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 We have used a ton of different chains and found that the RK MXZ3 is about the toughest non-oring chain at about 8800lbs and last great. We just started carrying the sidewinder stuff and they claim 16000lbs but it is very expensive and we havent had a chance to test it yet on some of the bigger bikes. The sidewinder sprockets are gauanteed for life though but again very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast Banshee Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 i run pretty much any good brand of non o-ring chain. pretty much whatever costs less at the time im a cheap bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
differentstrokes Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I like just about any X-ring chain (Regina, RK, Primary Drive), but I definitely prefer a gold chain regardless of brand since they seem to resist rusting better than standard finish chains. The Primary Drive X-ring is hard to beat for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 The Primary Drive X-ring is hard to beat for the money. Yes man and mine has not needed adjusting yet or anything of that sort. And i beat the living shit out of it in mud and all sorts of crap and it's hard to beat that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbAnyHill Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Trail, Dune, Drag my DID 520 Oring Chain. No complaints! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04ShEeLE Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I still have the stock chain and sprocket on my banshee from 2004. I ride it pretty hard and I honestly haven't even had to tighten it yet. It's just now starting to get a little loose. I'm very happy with the stock chain!!! IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamRealtreeHD Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I am very impressed with the KMC chains. I get the gold o-ring chains and they have been very reliable on my other bikes, and I have one on my 'shee for 2 weeks now. Looks good and performs good too.
