Tsubaki chains are rubbish, stretch stretch stretch. I don't think much of 'O' ring chains either. They are OK for a summer but once the inner lube is dried out they sap a lot of power. I use DID super NZ 520 non 'O' ring. Super strong. Like the bike, how have you modded the headlamp?

is there so much difference between the non o en o ring chains? my next chain would be a DID anyway (bad experience with the tsubaki ) but also because im converting to 17"wheels while keeping the old rear fork, it would be nice to have a minimum "stretch"

My main criticism of the 'O' ring chain is the greater width of it and that there is a distance between the inner and outer link plate because of the 'O' ring. Meaning that there is more chance of the pin bending, allowing the outer link plate to drift off the pin causing the chain to break. Not only that but when oiling an 'O' ring the lubricant isn't going to get past the 'O' ring - because thats whats its there for - so they are only so good for so long. Race teams love them because the lubricant won't fling out but they change them each meeting. What we want with them is beyond me.

so, tomorow i'm gonna pick up my new front brakes, brembo goldlines, the 65 mm type and thanks to this wonderfull website i've got all the drawings i need to make this thing work, so a big thumps up for all you people who share you're problems, solutions, frustrations and love for this great motorcycle.

What type of chains do you prefer & why?

for now i'm going for the DID 520VM chain, but i got it for free from the shop where i bought the last one, owner felt sorry for me because te last one broke.
so he gave me a new set, chain and chainwheels.

Did you have some problem with the case???
I fitted two stainless steel protections to avoid any such issue.
