best dirty chain?

[Paul_E_D]

Looking for a chain/sprocket kit for the 250f. I see a DID kit or two, and a regina. What's the good stuff?

RK makes a nice kit.

I think I just tossed a Bikemaster O-Ring unit on mine. So far with 0 miles, no chain stretch so I'm pleased. Sprocket wear is minimal too.

RK 520EXW-120

My most popular chain for my KTM dealers. Not cheap, but quality chain.

ive been happy with my AFAM/D.I.D. kit from SprocketCenter.com. $143 shipped.

Workslite alloy rear, steel CS, 520ERT2 non o-ring chain

Regina non o-ring came stock on the TC (w/AFAMs), also worked well for a handful of seasons (mixed use).

I've been running the renthal chain/sprockets combo from motosport.com. Works pretty well.

I have been running a Regina for the last 4 years and I don't think I have ever adjusted it or oiled it.

Best money I have spent in a long time.

just look at the tensile strengths of the chains you are considering. I run an EK and Tag sprockets and they both have lasted well.

I just put a new RK non o-ring on my WR supermoto, to soon to say how it holds up but it was twice the cost of a DID non O-ring.
I've also had great luck with DID chains and is probably my top choice when it comes time to replace again... I only got the RK for the WR because that's all the dealer had in stock that day

Be careful with what chain you buy. I made the mistake of buying a regina o-ring chain which is a good chain but just a hair wider then the DID. The rivets dont clear the cases near the counter shaft. Something about the honda design. Im currently using my old race chain from the R6 which is a DID erv3.

If you want the try the regina Ill cut you a deal. Its a 520 OSR6 I believe but Ill check to be sure. Its definitely a OR series.

I would stay away from the DID MX chain. I was adjusting that after every ride.

I just bought a "Primary Drive" Gold x-ring chain from RM. It was a bit less expensive ($20.00?) than the standard RK O-ring I have been using for 20 years. I have not mounted it yet, so I can not comment on how well it will hold up.
My brother ran a Primary Drive standard O-Ring chain on his DRZ, but it stretched fairly fast. That one has the "mud windows" in the side plates. I would steer away from that one as many folks on NEDB have bad things to say about it.
