YUCK! Why buy that chain ?????

I would NOT buy that ! I would buy a QUALITY chain instead. Have you read the reviews on that chain? Folks seem to happy with the fact that they got 13 - 16,000 miles on it before it was shot. That's is really P... Poor performance. Any decent chain will very easily go far more than twice that distance before even beginning to show signs of wear. I higly recommend you change your mind and buy a decent, brand-name chain instead of generic junk. Ed

To name a few:
Tsubaki
EK
RK
D.I.D.

Hi Ed and thanks for your guidance. I had no idea Volar was a chinese brand and came into this ignorant. An EK 530 106 endless chain is hard to find, so ive decided to get this one:

Hard to find?

Good chains.

Me too. It's an auto parts store rather than a dedicated motorcycle store.

I got a RK X ring chain from Z1 a few years back that suppose to last a little longer and have a little less friction.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configuration

Thanks for this! I actually found one for $20 more but about 30 miles from where i live. Check this out:

Z1E is another good source. Ed

Thanks for this. I have a little patience problem, and though I have three other bikes, its always the case that we want to ride the one we CANT ride isnt it? My friends say all of my bikes are pretty cool looking, but right now Im LOVING the KZ750. Anyway, a store 30 miles from me is selling the chain on ebay (the EK one I linked) so I will get that as it will be here in a day. BTW here are my bikes.
