FZR1000 #530 Chain

Post by djalbin »

The question of using a #530 chain, instead of the factory spec #532, on the FZR1000 come up from time to time. Here's an article from the December 2006 issue of Motorcyclist magazine that answers that question.

For those of you who don't want to read the entire article to get the answer ...
Yes you can - as long as the #530 chain has a tensile strength of at least 9200 pounds.
