We have access to both types of these chains and sprockets and I personally use the DID chains on all my motorcycles. I have heard a lot of good things about the RK chains and have a few customers who do prefer them over the DID.
DID in my opinion for using them is one of the best chains made and the continual improvement in there quality and strength make them a good choice for you and your motorcycle.
We do not stock chains, because we are able to get them usually with in a couple of days and because we order in chain and sprocket kits that fit your bike. The kit includes the front sprocket, rear sprocket, chain, master link and a small packet if chain grease. This will save you some time on installation, by not having to cut the new chain too size. But to let you know, every once in a great while we have gotten a chain that was a link or two too long, so always check the fit before putting the chain together.
At the bottom I have links to DID for x-ring ratings and warranty. The warranty does not include labor, but if we install the chain, see our warranty.
AFAM sprockets are one of the best in the motorcycle world and I have seen the same performance from Drive System
sprockets. So either one will give you good quality and long lasting sprocket.
Here are some examples of pricing (front sprocket/rear sprocket):
DID 530 VM Chains kits with steel/steel sprockets starting as low as $195.00
DID 530 ZVM2 Chains kits with steel/steel sprockets starting as low as $220.00
DID 530 ZVM2 Chains kits with steel/aluminum sprockets starting as low as $225.00
DID 530 ZVM2 Chains kits with steel/tri-metal sprockets starting as low as $245.00
Please give us a call at 760-317-7042 or email Bill Johnson with your bike information (year, make, model and size) for an exact price.
NOTE: All chains and sprockets require regular cleaning and oiling. Most manufactures require this every 600 miles. Personally I oil the my chains every 400 to 600 miles depending on conditions and clean when they look dirty. Riding conditions will determine the intervals.
