Sigma or Alpha

Following on from my previous thread about overhauling my bike, I have been looking at chain and sprocket kits. I have set my mind on this one https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/471/26592

I noticed in the description it says 'either a Tsubaki Alpha X ring chain or where power demands it, a Sigma X ring chain'. Will the alpha be ok for my bike? Am I right in assuming the Sigma if for blades and r1s (super sports)?

Alpha will be fine for your bike. I've had a couple of them.
Try B&C express for a greater choice of chain and sprocket options. Could save yourself quite a bit. If you want to avoid p&p go to your local HG store who will order them in from B&C for you.
