630 chain replacement

Hey folks,

Where is the best place for value and price to get a replacement chain for my 1980 GS 750 L? My old chain is origional, and the "O" rings are shot - it is not really worn out, but is getting loud and needs constant outside lubercation - which really makes a mess.

I found an "EK" chain (EK 630SRO) on the internet at BikeBandit.com w/ O-ring. Is this a good replacement chain for my GS? Any better suggestions?

Thanks!

I did a 530 kit on my 77 gs chain & sprockets, I did notice it pulled a little better and lost about 10pds in chain weight. I think it was the same as a 1982 16 valve gs750.
 
Are you sure it is a 630 chain you need? I just went thrugh this with my 83 750E. From the size of the chain I thought I needed a 630 as it looked so much beefier than the 530 on my Yammie. I even had my buddies at the dealership check it and they also thought it was a 630. When I had it off, I read 530 on the rear sprocket. then I thought to look in the manual and it calls for a 530.

It may be different for your bike but the concensus is that 750s would only need a 530.

Check the sprocket for marking and if you can clean the crud off your chain it should also be stamped.

Just thought you might want to check.

Cheers,
Spyug.
 
I just happened to get a new JC Whitney catalog yesterday, so I looked up what they had to offer.
(They seem to indicate that it is a 630 chain.)

Front sprocket:
15-tooth, p/n CBG024982, $13.99

Rear sprocket:
41-tooth, p/n CBG066018, $34.99

Chain:
630, 96 links, p/n CBG024936. $69.99


Just a note...I have not dealt with chain-drive bikes since April, 1979 when I got 'shafted' :shock: for the first time. I have no idea of the quality of the above parts, just letting you know that they are available.
