D.I.D. chain & sprockets- any good?
D.I.D. chain & sprockets- any good?
Ok, so Im going thru the 99 zx9 I got a few months ago and its time to replace the chain & sprockets. Heard a few good things about D.I.D. but want to ask if any one has experience with them, as I recently bought a shit clutch kit that didnt even have the right springs. Any good?

Re: D.I.D. chain & sprockets- any good?
any of the name brands will do the job - DID, RK, Takasago etc. All good
Avoid the cheap Chinese chains on ebay though - they really are crap. I have had a couple of bikes through the workshop with these fitted and they are absolute garbage.

I run the same chain on my 10 and Leanne's 6. They are a good thing.MadKaw wrote:Yep, I have DID 520 erv3 chain on my 10.

Re: D.I.D. chain & sprockets- any good?
DID - always good. Use top of the range if you can afford it.
My favourite supplier: http://www.chaingangchainsandsprockets.com.au/
They also do sprockets.

Re: D.I.D. chain & sprockets- any good?
I prefer EK chains to DID for a nine MVX model does the goods or if your really hard on chains ZZZ will more than cover it.Pretty sure EK is the original kawasaki chain supplier unless things have changed.bonester wrote:Yep good shit. Factory fitment original chain for a lot of Kawasakis
