I do not have personal experience with these but have heard hey are the balls. I will try this on my supermoto as its due for chain and sprockets.

I want to say they told me 9000 Lb tensile strength on the 520. They do a couple sales a year at 40% off and that's all I use. I get the Hybrid rear sprocket with 2 chains and I can easily get 60 hours of of it all. Rotate chains every 15 hours or so.

The Temmermans are true moto people. DT1 filters are good stuff, and they run a great track too.

rk uw chains are bomb proof, had great luck with primary drive they dont last as long but i like a fresh setup now and again to keep looking fresh, and MIKA i had one of their chains last year i was very very impressed with it as well.

Hammer663s is 100% correct.

I use the 520 Factory series X-ring chain along with the Hybrid rear sprocket. Long life, looks great.

I have been using these chains for a while now, Agree 100% with your statement.

gold chains are best.

track sluts and podium girls won't give you time of day if you've got a black or a color chain.

Pro Taper or DID X-Ring. I've put two years on Pro Taper XRC and it's still gold and looks great.
