Obby Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 ...how many miles do you have on it, and where did you buy it? I have the DID 530ZVMG chain. It has about 20k miles on it. Now a couple of links are kinked, it's making a clunking noise, it's has some rust spots, and it's almost a the end of the wear marker. Pretty well shot then I guess :cry: Now i'm looking to buy a new one. Anyone know of a good place to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matey_peeps Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I got my 530 zvm from www.whitebuffaloracing.com - good folks and prompt shipping. They don't carry a 110 so you'll have to buy a 120 and cut it down. Edit: I got 18k out of the stock chain and currently have 14k on this one, I think the life you're getting is good.

JasonW Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 The last time I bought a chain Whitebuffalo was out of them, so I ordered from MAW. They have a 110 link available.

arcticflipper Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 DID X-ring 530 - There is a more expensive "racing" chain available, but that's double the price of the DID. The Stealer suggested the more expensive chain due to the fact that it was made for bikes over 1000cc.... Well that sounds a bit fishy to me. Cost was USD 121.00 You can also try Partmonster, I'm sure he can supply one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgo63 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I like my EK chain too, I think it is better then DID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Darn, I was hoping the masterlink was in that pic. Does it have that new nut type masterlink EK came out with? No chain riveter necessary. I've been hearing good things about it. Good for people that don't have the $80 tool. I've run 2 DID 530ZVM chains. 25k miles on the first, at 20k miles so far on the second, not showing much wear, might go much longer. Bought at White Buffalo, cheapest place.

Jaygermeister Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I use chain wax and then clean the outside plates with WD-40 :bitchslap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartonmd Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I guess that's probably OK as long as you don't actually spray the WD40 on the chain, and just spray it on a rag and wipe... also depends on the intervals too.. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
