Honda 550F chain recommendations
« on: June 23, 2023, 07:16:46 AM »
1976 550F all stock.  What chain would you buy? I did search and looked through FAQ but not much current info other than 530?  Thanks for any responses.

Diamond makes a very good chain, do not get an o-ring chain, they are too wide and will rub on the case.

[may be cheaper elsewhere?]

Here is a good thread from a few years ago...
