[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 105488, member: 38"] Moto GP bikes run 300 hp on a 520 o ring chain, mind you they put about 300 k's on them and certainly put a new one on before a race. The one I have from Crutchlow's Tech 3 Yamaha has lovely blue rollers! I looked at the last one of mine that self destructed and it had only done it in certain places. it appeared that the rollers were fine but the seals had failed and then the lube on the pins gets out and things wear rapidly after that. I am not convinced a 530 would give a great deal more life as they presumable use the same seals. [/QUOTE]
