125-200cc Chain

So what kind of chain is everyone using for there 165? I got to replace my chain soon.

DID X-Ring. Talon or original front sprocket, original alloy or steel rear depending on gearing required.

DID x-ring also.

Although I currently have a Primary Drive x-ring (rockymountain in house brand) on there as I needed to replace my chain and the DID I ordered didn't show up before I had to leave for this weekends race.

Yep to these blokes^

I found OEM chain, Regina o-ring, on sale at either Bills or Halls for $60 last year and bought 2. That and Sunstar steel sprockets are what's on mine now

Weird I would of opted for the non o ring chain and boil waxed it after every ride.
Less friction so less drag on the drive train.
Would go o ring or w ring on 250+ as they cab handle a bit more Sap on the power.

Bugger that juicy too much work n they stretch(wear) like lacky bands! I doubt it really affects power much

I run an O ring chain on everything except my vintage bikes. They hardly make enough power to wear a chain anyway.

orings sapping power from friction is a wives tale discussed here ad nauseum..this is especially true with the newer xring style.

Fair enough.
Lol just call me Suzy the old wifey.

No O ring chain and light sprockets

O ring does suck power but not so much due to added friction (when they are new)
its a considerable weight difference and its a rotating weight one (gyroscopic effects)

As driving the motor bike is a hobby and with the status as a hobby is intermediately the term "cost money" accepted I have no issue to pay a little extra in the form of increased wear on this part of the bike.

it make a difference in throttle versus rear wheel response equals more smile

You're a bloody horrible looking wife juicy.

they do weigh a bit more..theres a reason mx riders use them..kind of like aluminum sprockets. ok for 125 class but on open class stuff, not really worth it.

I got good legs shawry! An I'm small so there's that similarity.

TSUBAKI o-ring and JT steel sprockets.

how do you like the Sunstar sprockets??

o ring or x ring. i hear stuff about both.

The Sunstar sprockets are great, both front and rear. When I can I'll get something lighter for the 300 though. Found a deal on a JT kit, gold chain seems good, but the sprockets only lasted about 20 hours. I do check and lube my chain after every ride.

The oem chain is o-ring Regina, well made and lasts a long time if maintained. It is pretty heavy.

20 Hours (that is not good at all)

I do more hours on a rear tire

Get supersprox rear and run renthal up front with reigna or isris chains, never had an issue.
Fronts wear out faster than rear on any set up as its doing roughly 3x the revolutions.
Seriously weight conscious arnt you ncSteve?
I can't see the point as within the first 10 mns of any moto all your weights savings are gone by being plastered in caked on mud.
Well in the uk any way.
