What Chain to use?

ok I ordered a 40T 520 rear sprocket today plan on using a 18t offset for the front with a zx6 17" wheel with a 190/55 tire

How many link chain Should I order? is there any brands to stay away from?

I get chains and sprockets from Z1. They sell a very good X ring chain for the cheapest price I have seen.

ramtough hope you will find front offset sprocket for 520.I am looking for one too.The reason I choose 520, because everyone with rear wheel upgrade have chain/frame clearance trouble.I am not there yet ,but it looks,I should pay a visit to machine shop in the future.

is ti a custom swings are ??? if not measure what u got, if it is a custom, add a few link and get a master,

Sweeeet

+1 on the Z1 info -they are the best.

You can measure with a quick homemade jig. Once you have your sprockets (or know the diameter from the oem), cut 2 discs of cardboard same sizes. Then place them in the correct orientation on the bike (tightest position) and run a string around them like a chain.

520 Chain is 5/8ths inch pin to pin and 1/4inch wide.

Mark every 5/8ths around the string till you get to the beginning. Add 1 link.

Good luck.

Am thinking 530 @ ³ /₈ " width reduced to 520 @ ² /₈ " width gains ¹ /₁₆ " space between chain and tire sidewall.

Comparing same size chain, non-o'ring chain should be slightly thinner.

Good Fortune!
