Looks like the chain on my Suzuki gsxr 750 slingshot is fooked
quite a bit of play on a few links!!!

I think it is poor maintenance that has knacked it as the sprockets look fine

How do i know what chain i need?
I looked at chains and there was loads of different sizes

Can i tell from the sprockets the size of the chain i need

Also anybody got any recommendations of a supplier

Thanks

Phone up a supplied and they should be able to supply the correct kit for your bike.

Busters is £80 for an x-ring chain, if I remember.

Have a look on the baacksprocket - there may be a number on it like 530-45, so it'd be a 530 chain, 45 tooth rear sprocket.

If you're spending £80 ish on a new chain spend another £20 odd on new sprockets as well Wink
