Chains for XTX

Hey I seem to be going through chains .... Getting about just under a year out of them (Stardard Yamaha chain) lol I do a lot of commuting to work and charging around at the weekend

I was wondering anyone any tips for a longer life chain something like a heavy duty Z or X ring ?

Cheers in advance

what milage are you getting?

even with a Scott oiler I was still only getting around 12k or so. that was commuting and weekend fun. they are know for being hard on chains. keep them oiled, adjusted and the Cush drive rubbers in good nick and it should last longer

Recommended after market chains & sprockets for the XT's are Renthal sprockets and Tsubaki gold (not real gold) chains

For XTX / XTR http://www.bandcexpress.co.uk/shop/t...%5E+XT660R.htm

For XT660Z Tenere http://www.bandcexpress.co.uk/shop/t...00Z+Tenere.htm

Money well spent and guaranteed to last over 4 times the life of OEM drive kits.
