Hi all,
I want to buy new sprocket [front and rear] as well as chain for my xj6n 2013.
The question is :
What type/ brand would be best, for chain i think it will be DID but also there are many different types, standard, super heavy duty, super heavy duty x-ring ?, do they differ a lot ? except from the price ?

Also what brand/type for sprocket would be best all i found is 2 brands ? sunstar and JT, and i heard that JT ''doesn't have rubber dumping ? '' and you can feel vibrations ? and overall they also look ugly standard silver metal.

I want a gold DID chain [not sure standard or other] and a black sprocket ?

Are there any other sites or should i just give up with looking for some as there are only 2 brands for my bike ?

Thanks !

JT sprockets, DID Chain, Scottoiler. Adjust the chain when you change the tyres.

Ok so JT sprockets how about chain, super heavy duty or standard and also which one is better o-ring or x-ring
also why is seen a lot websites where they say not to use kerosene to clean chain and other chemicals, but in owners manual it says to clean with kerosene ?

O Ring, and fit a scottoiler. No ned to use cleaning products.

Why are you changing them on a 2013 bike?
