Hi folks, I made the mistake of taking my kwak out for a short test last week because it had not been run for a few months. but the bike kept cutting out when i opened the throttle in 3rd gear but the Chain was a bit slack and jumping but still thought it would be ok till it is MOT this week, anyway only doing 5mph and the chain snapped a good chain is a life saver so my question is which chain is the best I know D.I.D. IS GOOD BUT MY BUDGET IS NOT HAHA SO I BOUGHT A choho CHAIN , FROM EBAY BUT IT DID NOT STATE THE MAKE BUT WOULD FIT MY BIKE TROUBLE IS NOW i KNOW ITS A cHOHO ARE THEY RELIABLE AND SAFE.

The answer to your question is very subjective. A heavy duty o-ring chain from a known make will be the answer. So, EK, DID, Regina, Afam, Ognibene.

I've had a budget chain from wemoto recently, a Swift. Seems to be holding out ok so far.

Never heard of a choho. Keep a careful eye on it. Inspect and check tension before each ride. Watch for cracks in the side plates around the pins. If it seems to be going slack repeatedly/quickly, be suspicious.

I was one person who was asked by wemoto to test Swift Chains and they
are quite good, they are wider than a normal O ring chains which means
they can hold more lube.

They are very cheap chains but they are impressing for the price, since
I go through chains a lot due to my job they are worth it.

I'm using swift chains with JT sprockets, the front sprockets are like OE,
even on my Suzuki Inazuma.
