Chain and sprockets recommendations

What are the best brands/reputation of chain and sprockets?Any horror stories of any particular ones to avoid.Looking for a set for my CBR1000 (2010)

Road or track?

I have always used DID EVR3 520 on my bikes and never had a single issue with them... then again they have always been dedicated track bikes bar one and even that one only saw like 2000km on the road.

Hey mate I use and sell AFAM sprockets and EX chains. ATM I'm using the EX 3D chain it's awesome same as wha they use in the GP so I'm told.
Need any more info PM me

+1 for DID ERV3. They are tops! Very easy to fit too, because the rivet is hollow on the edges, making peening the link rivet a breeze. They are lighter than the equivalent EK or RK too, although a little bit more exxy.

I just use RK chains. GXW on one bike and still have the TRU on the other.

Sprockets steel last longer than alloy. I got a steel front and alloy rear. JT, AFAM etc etc. all do the same jobbie

Lately it's been more track than road.What does the 520 refer too.Seems to be on all brands.

[chubb]

520 525 530 are the width of the chains.

Thanks Chubb

If you still have the stock 525 on the bike, weigh it against the EVR3 and give yourself a tap on the back!

not as much as i thought, hopefully friction will be better

[Marshy]

I'm surprised! I guess the 525 R6 OEM isn't that heavy....

On litre-bikes (530), there's a massive difference. Like, 1.5kg including sprockets. And it's rotating mass, so it's worth more, so to speak.

I propose everybody weighs everything that's on hand.... I will do the same for my sprockets
