X-ring chains are the way to go - get the best you can afford, DID are one of the better brands. Also, extending chain life means regular cleaning and lubing of the chain. COrrect tension is also key, as is ensuring you change the sprockets out with the old chain.

Also, extending chain life means regular cleaning and lubing of the chain. COrrect tension is also key, as is ensuring you change the sprockets out with the old chain. Chain been changed together with sprocket and well look after (tension and lubing at least once a week) Thanks everyone |

maybe on smaller bikes craig. Start putting 80bhp or more through them and in time. . It starts to show. If you need a hand removing and fitting give me a shout. . Ive got the right tools for the job

It's not the HP that does the damage, it's the torque.
