drive chains
« on: 09 December 2012, 04:12:10 pm »
Hi - It will soon be time for  a new drive chain on my 2002 Gen1 fzs1000-
I ususally fit a DID ZVM gold xring, but I am wondering about other makes like EK amd Tsubaki - I believe some EK chains have a 'screw pin' link rather than a push rivet -? 
Also, where is the best (cheapest) place in the UK to buy an OEM Yamaha front sprocket?
Opinions please?
Thanks!! :)

I think any of the big brands will be fine. I THINK Yamaha use DID from new...
 
Tsubaki, EK etc are all well known, I'd just steer clear of the cheapo stuff as I would cheap brake pads.

Hmm, tough one, look an ebay, I saw a sprocket tab washer while looking for a chain, if not, someone will remind us of a recommended Yamaha Parts store other members have used.
