the best brand you can afford. go to any bike shop or motorcycle website and ask for a chain and sprocket set for a 83 gs550esd!!!1978 GS1085.
Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion! -
Look at Basscliff's site where you'll find a link for the stock sprocket and chain sizes for your bike. Then go looking from there.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Yes this!!!!!Originally posted by cowboyup3371 View Post
Down load the factory manual and the answer is right there...http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/
The manual will even tell you that the bike came with an O-ring chain. Using a non O-ring chain is okay but it will wear MUCH faster.Ed
To measure is to know.

I've downloaded it and was just looking at it..Originally posted by Nessism View Post
So i can purchase a non-oring chain, it will just cause the chain or the sprocket or both to wear faster? Im having trouble finding a replacement chain in my budget range (between 40-60$)Comment

Honestly, my personal opinion is the chain and sprockets, like brakes, holds your life in their hands. Don't skimp on it. If necessary, do like I did and wait until you have the money for it. That may mean you have to wait for a bit but at least you know it will last you awhile.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace
