bought a prostunt kit bought the chain seperate, i bought a renthal 520-120 link gold o-ring chain and the ****** snapped, should i have rode a little bit to break it in??? Or did i have it a little to tight?

 

its either way you tighted it too hard and 520 is too weak ...525 is the best options out there.

 

thank you

 

520 is plenty strong enough, a 530 would snap also if it wasn't ajusted properly. have a shop install it next time n take notes.

is 520's were soooo week 03+ ninjas (636s) wouldn't come with 520's stock.

 

z link is also better quality than standard chains.

you should about 1 to 1 1/2 inch of travel up and down.

 

Cough Cough that is all

 

 

my swingarm says 30cm on it. (i think)

i leave about an inch and let it ride. only broke a chain once and thats bc my master link hopped off somewhere on the highway.

 

snapped chain.....wow....that is crazy....

 

I'm an idiot. After I posted , I looked at my swingarm. Yea it says it plain english (30mm,1 1/4")

 

ah yes, MM.

 

yea i bought a 520 chain conversion for my bike before i started stunting it. now i wish i woudl of stayed with the stock 525 kind of. you think itll be alright. dropping the clutch to hard i why you snapp em anyways right?

 

i snapped mine after i bought it(520).. everything was installed correctly but the chain wasnt adjusted to the right length.. way to much slack.. every time i popped it i could hear the chain popping... then i bought a new master link adjusted my chain to about 1" of slack and havnt had any problems since..

quick way to learn about how important it is to keep your chain adjusted correctly

 

Chain tension is huge!

 

make sure when u sit on your bike your chain has a slight bit of play. when your swing arm is parrallell with the ground its at the longest point.. if there is no play or to much play... its fucked up lol, the factory calls for 1 1/4 inch of play that is way to much for stunting, its having you set up for maximum load capacity...

 

i think renthal chains are made for dirtbikes not street bikes. look at the tensile strength of different type & size of chains.

chain specs...tensile strength-ft. lb.

renthal works 520 R-32 gold chain - 7,034 off road chain up too 650cc
