Primary chain wear 550 K1

<< < (3/4) > >>

Bryanj:
30,000 is just run in as long as oil changed on schedule and not seviced by a numpty.
It is totaly possible that it only needs chains, dampers seals and gaskets

Hi
Can anyone tell me what model the cheaper  Kawasaki primary chain that can be used on the 550 is from.
DS primary chain is in the region of £80, that’s the cheapest I have found.
Thanks

The 400 & 500 have the same Primary Drive Chain I used the Kawasaki one 92057-1011 box was marked (Zx550-A1).

Just double check the part numbers for Honda Part 500 & 550 are the same.
Original 500 Honda p/n was 23131-323-000 - the manual shows an illegible  hand written change  looks like 23131-425-003.

The DS site shows the same part number for 550K3 & 500 as 23131- 425-003. So looks like 400/500/550 use the same Hyvo chain.

Murf:
McCable-Thiele Thanks for all that info and part numbers, I will follow up and give one of the Kawasaki chains a try.
 I would imagine that the Hyvo chains are made by chain makers and bought in by the motorbike manufacturers and where possible the motorbike maker will try to use a standard size chains to save costs.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I sourced mine from MSP it was £57.34 in Nov 2022 - that gives you a handle on cost.
