Chain replacement??

[Mick DMember]

I will admit,if Boony had posted his enquiry in the tech help section where you aren’t allowed to put stupid answers, I wouldn’t have posted the daisy chain pic.But here, he is fair game.

I always run the steel sprockets,on an XR you don’t feel the weight difference.

they have supersprox sprockets (steel)and x ring did chain for 200 dollers are supersprox okay i need some for lue and boony x ring chains are better than o ring ones well they cost more anyway at riders edge and 10$ freight sounds good to me thanks

Ok,, steel 47 tooth rear sprocket and an O ring 520 chain,,,I thank you all for you input..

Boony, steel will last but an alloy sprocket will weigh 60% less, I have weighed them.
Look at the DID X-ring chain too, they have a fair bit less resistance to movement, and they come in gold colour which really suits the DRZ.

IIRC they’re a two piece rear with alloy centre and steel teeth. You could also point out that rotating mass has a much greater affect than sprung mass.

From what I’ve read Supersprox are only really second to chain gang and from what I understand they dont make their own anymore so sprox are good to go

I have only ever bought one sprocket and chain for my bike and that was to replace the Supersprox I had on there for over 5,000Km’s. It only destroyed itself beacuse my chain was so rooted the rollers had come off and wore the sprocket out even more.

I got a new chain and supersprox combo for the Orange ride however long ago that was. I also got an O ring chain which seems to be holding up fine.

I’ve got a DID X-ring chain that is not impressing me one little bit, no lube left in the rollers, stretches like a yoga guru, yet they have always been the best in IMO, maybe I got a Dud or someone is making ripoffs and i bought one from the bloody dealer at full price too….

Hardened sprockets & good quality O-ring chain as TB said save you money overall.

Yeah I spoke with them and found them helpful also and could’ve upsold me the lighter rear sprocket but he was fair dinkum about it and the postage was fast so I rate them.
