    Chain buying Help Please

    by clunacy » Wed May 06, 2020 8:18 am

    Long story short I can't find the DID 520 VT2 (narrow) chain that everyone recommends. Well it's time for me to replace and I'd like some opinions on good chains to use that won't need modifying to run.

    Did you get your starting/running issues resolved ?? , you never replied back with more info .............

    As far as the chain goes , what "modifications" are you referring to ?? , as long as you get a front sprocket for a 450X , and made for a O-Ring chain , it should have a offset option to turn it so it sticks out farther for wider O-ring chains if the rubbing the case is what you are worried about ....... personally I use the DID ER Gold chains (non O-ring) as I feel the O-ring chains cause way too much drag .... , but the key to getting a O-ring chain not to rub is the front sprocket having a offset ....

    There are narrow and wide chains , but unless the chain is exceptionally wide , with the correct sprocket it should not rub ...

    But to help with your question , here are 2 narrow chains ...
