Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Chain performance or lack thereof!!!
KXcam22:
I find the Tsubaki chain to be quite a bit better that the RKs I have used, although they cost way more. Seem to handle sand abraision better. I normally run the best Tsubaki I can buy and use cheap steel sprockets.
kawdude:
Okay so when I decide on a chain should I go to the oring or xring or no oring.
Twist-a-grip:
Steel sprockets! D.I.D. or RK O-ring or X-ring.
I prefer X-ring myself. By design you have 2 lips to keep dirt out and 2 lips to keep the factory lube inside. I am not religious enough at chain maintenance to run a standard chain.

Twisty's right - O or X. RK or DID. I love the RK's. Got the DID this time cuz it's gold. Couldnt find the RK O or X in gold...
paulkx5:
I have to give another vote for an Rk O or X ring. I have two years on my currant one, and will get at least one more season out of it.
