QRN chain
« on: July 16, 2023, 07:39:09 AM »
Could this 'self lubing' chain be the best option for CB500'550s? https://www.wwag.com/en/tsubaki-delta-530-secondary-chain
The QRN seems popular with Harley riders. Not cheap though. Anyone here has tried it?

I can offer this experience to your quest: the Diamond XD and XDL chains were the first motorcycle drive chains to have the oil-impregnated bushings for longer life. It works, and very well.
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

i've had it, it's good. then for some time it became unavailable here in NL due to which i last bought a takasago/rk ks. which is also a good standard chain but without being oil impregnated. i'm glad to hear the tsubaki is back.

Uhm... I am not sure the QRN is back. I just happened to see it on some Harley sites. Good thing is, it has the clip link. BTW, I wonder if the Diamond is the same as Tsubaki under another name...
