Chains

Tue Apr 14, 2015 7:47 am » Post: #1 » Download Post

I need a new chain and was wondering if anyone has any preference between DID ERS2 and Regina GP.

Also clip link or rivet link, are clip links ok?

Where do you guys get your chains from?

Wouldn't say there was a lot of difference between any of the top makes Simon as for links and rivets, i always run a joining link on mine, 250,s and 125,s, in fact when my son was racing, in 9 years we always ran a joining link and that was spanning 125,s through to 1,000cc, not once can i remember any problem, i know people will say what the hell were you doing with a joining link on a 1,000, but you pays your money and takes your chance, it worked for us !!!!.

Cheers Les.

I don't have the kit to split a chain or rivet a permanent link in anyway so was just looking for some confidence.

Looked like the options were DID ERS2 or Regina GP but I am told by DT Racing that the Regina GP is discontinued ... so DID it is I guess.

We use the ERS2 on the 250s and 500s.

Both, on the 250s, but rivet links on the 500s.

The last few chains I've had have been DID. I use split links for ease of removal and cleaning. Never had a problem with them

If you are worried about the spring clip pinging off, just smear a bit of clear silicone on the front of it, job done.

The last chain I bought was from "The Chain Man" as he came recommended and supplied the number of links I needed and with a non o ring chain for maximum hp (when you've only 40bhp you need all the help you can get).

He does stuff for the GP 250s. Nice bloke. Worth a phone call to check price.

I use crankcase sealer - essentially the same thing but a little more resistant to chain lube and fuel, which I use for giving the chain a quick clean between runs.

I've ridden the international layout, never ridden the full GP. It depends which way the wind is blowing...

I guess this is a track day?
