List of chains on my XTZ750:
15417km DID 520 VM
6033km DC 520 MTX <<<<<<
28050km DID 530VM Gold
23048km DID 525ZVM Gold and still fine

The reason to ride "Gold" chains is that i'm using a chain olier thar keeps the inner of the chain well oiled but the outside can easily get a bit rusty.

List of chains on my XT600Z:
8087km RK 520 XSO
20440km DID 520VM k�de
19982km DC 520 MXO <<<<<< That one lasted fine
9131km CZ 520 ORM (only winter on salty roads and offroad)
4125km CZ 520 ORM chain broke and damaged the engine. Pictures on http://majland.org/blog/?p=220

Since you are looking at a swedish page i guess you are in europe. Then also ask http://kedo.com/ if they can supply you with the size you wants.
Thank you for the thorough answer
I think I'l skip the kit from lelles then..

Does the kit below look good and fit my 2007 xtx without any problem?
http://www.off-the-road.de/en/XT-660...660-HEAVY.html

It's a 525 did chain and "german made" sprockets..

I want to have;
Front sprocket: 15 teeth
Rear sprocket: 46 teeth
Chain type: what should I choose? Open or closed?

Will check kedo.com as well. (lives in Sweden)
