Hi All,

I am after a new chain and sprocket kit for my E4 ZZR600. I have looked on fleabay and other sites, but have been told that I should get a kit with DID chain and JT Sprockets !!

Is there such a kit and who does it, or do I have to buy separately ?

wemoto do a chain and sprocket kit
https://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Kawasaki/ZZR_600_ZX_600_E4-E5/96-97/picture/Chain_DID_VX_X-Ring_Premium_Gold_&_Black/

should this be OK, or should I get chain from them and sprockets elsewhere.

many thanks

Have a look on B&C Express as well, have bought from there in the past.

If you're set on that combination then you might have to buy separately.

Not set on that, its just that I was told that JT sprockets are better. But I just want to make sure I get a chain that will last as I commute 80 miles each day to and from work. Surprised

thanks though, I'll take a look

There's plenty of makes and manufacturers out there that will give you substantial functioning over 80 two and from work + more.
As long as its not some cheap rubbish, the correct maintenance, i.e adjustment and lubrication regularly will do the job perfectly, possibly saving you a load of money on top brands Smile
WeMoto is generally fine for that Smile.

I bought a JT rear sprocket from B&C and I thought that it was too cheap and not particularly well machined.So I bought a https://www.supersprox.com/uk/categories.php rear and a Renthal front together with a DID chain and have used it for years on my Exup1000,covering many miles with just good maintenance and hardly any adjustment.Granted I do not use it for commuting but the equivalent is a 900 mile ride to the South of France in one hit with no problems from my drive line.

wemoto is probably where I will end up getting it from. Chain is adjusted as of Sunday (gone) and its at the correct 25-30mm slack at tightest point but when rotating wheel it then goes to about 45mm, so chain has probably had it now.

Probably the original chain on it. I've done almost as many miles on it in 7 months, as it had on it when I bought it.
