What is the correct drive chain for a 77 GS750?

[jdanoldno7]

I found this one on ebay, but don't know if it's the proper one.

It's not the right chain for your bike.

I just found something that says 630-96, that sounds better to me. Is that right?

[hampshirehog]

Sounds about right to me. Are you just getting a chain on its own? You would normally buy a chain AND sprockets at the same time. And I would advise you to buy the most expensive you can afford - cheap stuff doesn't last at best and and at worst can be downright bloody dangerous.

630 chains are becoming scarce. If you change out the sprockets and chain I recommend going with a 530 chain. Lots of good quality chains are available, but you need to change the number of teeth on the sprockets also. I recommend calling Z1Enterprises, or at least visiting their site to see what is available. And be sure and get a good o-ring or x-ring chain. They will last a lot longer and require less maintenance.
