need information on a tsubaki 530 hqr solid roller chain. how does it hold up on a 1986 fj1200?
Wrong tool for the job.
The HQR is plenty strong enough at 10,600 lbs. tensile strength, but it is not a O ring chain.
Question: How far can you go on a tank of gas on your '86? 180-200 miles?
You will be needing to lube this chain every time you stop for gas, possibly sooner.
For track duty, a roller chain is fine, you can lube it between 20 lap sessions.
You want a O ring chain for the street. HTH http://tsubakimoto.com/products/chain/drive_chain/motorcycle_chain.html (http://tsubakimoto.com/products/chain/drive_chain/motorcycle_chain.html)
i just bought a EK ZZZ 530 with rivet link for $149 shipped from http://www.shopcyclewerkz.com/ (http://www.shopcyclewerkz.com/)
pretty decent deal considering that's OTD and no tax.
WOW!! That is a great price!! I've bookmarked that site. Thanks!! Pat
Thats where I was planing on buying mine.They are on ebay for $138 and $20 for shipping they are a couple of $$ cheaper at there website.
After reading Andy's horror stories a few weeks ago about broken chains and engine cases I began to shop in for a stronger chain. I got lucky and snagged a EK-ZZZ 120c a few weeks ago for $99.99 + $8.00 shipping on eBay. Any body need a BikeMaster O-ring chain with only 400 miles on it?

What are you saying? it's not good enough for your bike but it's okay for ours?
