ZX10R Chain Question.

Post by MUS15 »

G'day guys,

Need help can't really find any info on the different chains / sprockets to throw on to the bike.

ATM i bought a green EK 520SRX chain for my 2010 ninja. But doesn't fit on to the rear and front sprocket.

Kelen kawasaki are trying to order my new 525 chain with a rivet link.

My Q is what is the standard size chain / sprocket for 2010 ZX10R, what are the other options can i still use this chain (520)?

Frustrating to have the bike parked up for a week now.

Any help would be appreciated

If you buy 520/sprockets you can run the 520 chain.
Common mod to these bikes. Especially on track.

For the road yes, although there's nothing wrong with using a 520 for the road you'll just replace it and sprockets marginally more than a 525.

It's done for weight saving and a very small power gain for the track.
