New drive chain

(1/3) > >>

MarkCR750:
I need a new chain for my CR, the one that's fitted came with the donor bike boxed, it's the heaviest chain I've ever seen on a bike!, you could launch a ship with it!, it was still in the grease paper and DID box but must have been 30 years old, it's very quickly lost its suppleness though, I think the O rings may have perished , can anyone recommend a reasonable quality chain?, the sprockets have only done 900+ miles, cheers Mark.

Got a kit for mine on Ebay for 20 quid!   Check it out there are always bargains!

If not, Ive used the x-rings on other bikes with good success, but my daily commute is a R1100GT  (thats an R1100GS with RT wheels, motor, gearbox and final drive) so no chain....happy days!

(apologies for mentioning a bavarian tractor on this forum!)

the one on my bike is a new gold DID chain which was obviously fitted when the bike was built.

Thanks Greebo, £86!, they'll no be having a sale will they? 😄 , I think I'll stay with a silver chain though just because it looks a bit more original on mine, I've been told racing lines in derby has chain they cut to length Ill see if they have the correct size, cheers.

I cant remember what mine cost, but the one on ebay is for the Chain  & Sprockets so I guess that why its a bit minty.

I agree in a way with the silver chain, but go for a good strong & well made one...there is some crap around..
