I've just discovered that after being sat for a month my chain has developed 3 seized links 😓 I've worked them lose but it's time for a replacement anyway So I was just wondering if anyone has noticed the difference between the VX Heavy Duty and the ZVM-X Super heavy duty DID chains? And if the latter is worth the extra £50??Also is the recommended set up still DID chain, Renthal Rear and generic front sprocket? I'm thinking of getting the JT 'silent' sprocket this time just to see if theres much of a difference

I had a search on Fowlers, not knowing your bike year I chose 2007. The chain for that would be DID50VA8-122LL. From an American site it reckoned the DID50VA8 denotes a genuine Yamaha part. It seems your chain is a 530, personally I'd go for the ZVM-X.
the bike has only covered 14,000 miles
Dude,Bike Torque Racing are a good company to deal with. They'll have all you need. Good luck .

You like to waste money then, come spend it with me
I'm almost tempted myself.
QuoteI'm almost tempted myself.Why would you not? That should be OE spec ZVM chain. You just need to pop the swing arm off the fit it.
