    1982 GS750 T - Chain and Sprocket Headache...

    After reading this thread - thanks Rich.

    I have decided to purchase the following items:

    Front Sprocket: JTF513 - 18 teeth
    Rear Sprocket: JTF 816 - 49 teeth

    So far so good. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

    Chain... 530 X ring 116 links

    And here I've hit a snag.

    There's this chain:

    Chain 530x116 DID VX3 Heavy Duty X-Ring - For £108 (116 links)

    Or this one:

    JT Chain JTC530X1R118RL - For £65 (118 links)

    Here's my headache:

    They're both X ring, but the JT chain is £43 cheaper - Is the DID chain really that much better?

    I don't know.

    I just want a good enough chain that will fit my sprockets.

    Can you help a fellow out with some advice on what chain to get, please?

    Many thanks.

    Marcus

    The DID is a better chain for sure. I'm not positive it's worth the extra money, but if this bike is a long term keeper, I'd splurge.

        my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)
