Yeah, I'd stretch and or snap that Diamond at 6.600 lb in a heart beat. Thanks for the link though. Yeah, the thing used to be o-ring for those of us lazy enough to ignore the lube job. Plus they had to start making them stronger and lighter for the stronger bikes. Now they've gone x-ring and w-ring for less friction and additional sealing with the X and W configuration points. Probably more of a selling point but in theory........ don't we always want the latest and greatest  ;)

Terry, it is an RK. It's a strong MF'er (like me haha). Rarely have, errr, had to adjust it but that was with the puny 812 that was probably mid 70+ HP. I'm anticipating close to 100hp this go around. The offer is appreciated but I'll go ahead and bite the bullet and get one ordered. This will make a nice spare/replacement for the other bike from which it came.

I was just doing a little research and ran across a good deal on a Tsubaki Sigma o-ring 110 link at 10,000/10,600? It stated for 'off road'. Any idea why it's labeled that way vs 'and/or for street'??

Since I can't ride I'm now playing with adapting a 750 A solid state reg/rect to replace my original units. May be as simple as replacing the connector and combining or neglecting the extra red and green. I'll report back on this little project tomorrow. Couple fluid leaks to square away too. Oil line at engine? and either front brake caliper seal or brake fluid.

Standard chains? Strength? Not needed and PRICE point. No sense in overkill on a standard bike.

Welded up a hole that the road put in my 4 into 1 when I took a roundabout too quickly (was trying to keep up with my father who is a master at getting through them real quick - he's in his seventies so has had more practice than me!).
While I had it off, I repacked the noisy aftermarket muffler for the third time, this time not so tightly, but, like the previous two times it didn't make it noticeably quieter at all! :(
Looks like I may soon start work on getting the original one I scored for it to fit (the outlet of my 4 into 1 is too big to fit in the muffler so I'll have to modify it - or un-modify it I should say!) - but then I just know I will be complaining that it's too damn quiet! :)

Time to source a strong 104 link 530 chain!! Wondering if I should go 106? Plenty of adjustment room still?? Any suggestions on a good site to look? 

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WJEJFQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00

This is the Diamond Powersports chain that HondaMan recommends. I bought it last year.

No where near as strong as a good O,X or Z ring chain, Jerry's bike is just a bit hotter than a stock 750.... ;)

Shouldn't OXZ or standard not matter? Isn't that just a method of trapping lubricant?

Tensile strength Evan, big differences in strength, that Diamond chain is about 6400 LBS, the better O/X/Z ring chains are up to 11,000 lbs tensile strength, they support up to and over 200HP, far stronger ... ;)

Gotcha. I guess like most things the better quality ones can withstand more force.

Why aren't standard roller chains made at higher tensile strength?

Probably because they are old technology now, O/X/Z rings hold in grease around the moving parts and help keep dirt and grime out, they naturally last longer, you still lube them manually on the outside though, like any other chain..  In the day of the old Honda's, the biggest Japanese bikes were lucky to have 80HP, some now have over 200HP.... ;)
Cool. Learned something new today. :D
