Replacement Chain and Sprockets
My current chain is seeming like it needs to be replaced, and so I'm going to replace the chain and both the sprockets (Thinking of changing front sprocket to a 15t instead of a 14t). I'm not sure what to get though. What chain and sprockets do you guys use? Is there a certain brand that's superior? A specific chain in particular? Same goes for sprockets.
Note: I'm trying for as cheap as possible (as I'm sorta stripped for cash) But I obviously don't want to get a crap chain/sprocket and have it wear out really quick (Or even break). Thanks for the help! |

Look at the bottom of this page; there are quite a few threads that should help point you in the right direction.

I wrote up a perfect response to this question before, if I could only find the link....

Does changing the sprocket size change the chain size?
I'm switching my front sprocket to a 15t instead of a 14t. Normally the ninja 250 uses a 106 link chain, and I was wondering if the chain length has to be changed to match the sprocket teeth increase. Thanks!

No, there is plenty of extra slack in the stock chain length to make up for going up one tooth in the front. We only need to consider a longer chain if we're going up something like 3 or more teeth in the rear, and even then it depends.
