Rear drive chain

[Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP)]

Hi All,
Over the years I have not kept up to date on chain technology.When restoring I just ordered chain and sprockets from DS.I have noticed in less than 600 kilometres it has already tight spots and is stretching like an elastic band especially after a screaming time.Your recommendations are needed.Make type etc.Would not like it to snap on me.
Many Thanks
Bitsa

The 750 will happily handle an "O" ring chain, unlike the 500, so any decent name 530 HD"O" ring chain should be good.

Hi Bitsa
I have a DID O ring chain and have done nearly 1500 miles on it and have not had to adjust or oil it yet    and anyone that has seen me going up and down the A12 & A14 will know I don't hang around. X ring chains are even better I never had to oil the chain on the Triumph  and that lasted 13000 miles the chain was still fine but the sprockets were totally shot

Thanks Bryan,Green1.
Will this chain you are recommending be ok with the sprockets DS supplied or should I just get as seen on bay the full kit?
DID Oring kit.
Cheers
Again

I tend to buy them as a kit they normally come with JT front sprockets and cheap steel rear sprockets.Busters quite often do good deals

I always found that the best sprockets were OEM when I had my 750F2 and 550s. The quality of some pattern stuff was not that good.

As for chains, the 630 size on my 750F2 was quite large & so the prices of new chains reflected this. One chain that I regret buying was one thrown together by Regina. Although an 'O' ring chain, it stretched so much within 1800 miles that I had to replace it. In the end I bought one made by Izumi which was OEM for GS100s at the time. This was on the bike until the big smash.

I am using a DID X ring chain, used a chain and sprocket kit. Have also fitted a chain oiler. The oiler tends to keep the chain cleaner as well as oiled. 2,500 miles so far and I haven't had to adjust it at all .......
