Another chain and sprocket question

[LakeWylieJoe_imp]

Before ordering an OEM chain (with a Honda part number), I'd verify with your Honda parts guy that the chain has a master link. The DID or RK chains that come on the new bike do not, which is good and bad. Good, in that all the links are made with the same pins (no rivet to possibly fail if staked incorrectly) but BAD in that in order to replace it, you'd have to remove your swingarm to get it around the countershaft sprocket.

I'd go with OEM sprockets and a high-end DID or RK chain (with rivet master link).
