chains

[Art Johnson]

never had a chain come apart.
the old cb500 had many 530's with link.
just have a hard time believing a gpz with 2-3x the power can use the same chain.
my 96 gpz has original factory chain with 22,000kms
looking fwd to replacing sprockets, endless chain, NOT!

That's what I've always used. The last one hasn't lasted as long for some reason.
As far as smashing the crankcase - at thsi point the bike is disposable - I'd be more concerned with the hospital bills.
IIRC the DID is stronger than the OEM. This chain is approx 60% tensile strength of the DID so I just have to keep the throttle below 60% full open. The red ones can probaly be opened  close to 100% though.
Has anyone actually had a chain snap versus a link coming apart?
