Title: Restoring '93 KX 250J - Purchasing New Chain
Post by: meatballdirtbike on September 04, 2018, 05:44:59 AM

Hey Guys  :-D,

Just curious, what chain do you guys recommend for this bike?

Thanks Guys

PS. Yes, I know to check the service manual for my bike's year. I just want to see if people are using the OEM chain or swapped for aftermarket. If you use aftermarket, drop the link plz.

D.I.D 520 X ??? I think standard length is 114 or 116 but I normally get a 120+ link chain and take links out to suit as like to run the wheel as close to the end of the swing arm as possible, I get standard strength chains and replace them frequently rather than going expensive o ring etc and dragging the last bit of life out of them, never snapped one off yet!
