Getting a new chain and sprocket
I'm in need of a new chain and sprocket and found this kit online
http://www.amazon.com/D-I-D-DKK-013-...h+Sprocket+Kit I was curious if it would work and if so how good of quality it is. I've heard did is good quality. It doesn't say in the name if its an X chain but mentions it in the description. If this i no good then will someone point me in the direction of a kit that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? |

I think it would work fine. You can get the chain specs by looking at DID's site, and the 520VX2 is going to be overkill for the 250 (i.e. it should last a good long while if taken care of).

Thanks Alex. You think its a good deal for the chain and sprockets or could i find better? Also i've heard mention of getting a 525 chain should i look for one of them or stick with a 520?

Heavier chains are preferred for more powerful bikes, but 520 is more than enough for the little ninjette.

http://chain-guide.com/applications/...cle-chain.html It seems that this kit doesn't include the connecting link. Use safety wire if you use a clip-type. Take a look at these other options: Checking e-bay for a Chain and Sprocket Kit 2008-2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250R

Unlikely, I have never seen a new DID chain sold without a master. Should be rivet type in that kit as well.
