    What Chain do you use?

    I need a new chain for my '06 R6 Race bike. Just not sure which brand ect.

    Looking for a 520 set up.

    I've got the sprockets.

    Re: What Chain do you use?

    I don't know the part # , but I looked for x-ring , and prestretched, with the highest psi rateing.
    I spent the extra couple of bucks when I saw a 2yr old R6 that had a cheap chain brake , then whipped around and took out a corner of the engine case.
    Basicaly the engine was junk, it hit in a space that couldn't be welded.
    Because of a $20 or $40 savings on a cheap chain.
