[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 25866, member: 433"] I just ordered a 520 chain for my bored and stroked Comet. It's a DID 520 NZ, the chain is strengthened over a Standard 520 chain and usually used on Moto Cross bikes, though not the bling bling version. (it is standard steel colour, not the one with golden colour outer plates) the chain has a width across the pins of 18.8 mm. this is the same width as as for the oring chain you stated. this in turn means that the oring chain must have slimmer sideplates. the guy I ordered the chain from is one of the biggest suppliers in Germany and knows his business really well. he strongyl advised to use the strengthened version on a big single and I think with a twin it is even more so. According to him the standard RK and DID chains will tear like chewing gum when used on powerful torquey engines. According to him the standard chain has less than a quarter life ( 2000 miles)to the strengened one when used on a KTM 640. I would rather prefer a good chainoiler though messy to a chain that is on its limits. HTH Bernd [/QUOTE]
