Giving the chain it's needed cleaning and noticed one of the o-rings squeezing out and it's got me paranoid it's going to explode Michael Bay style. I'm sure it's been a bit since the chain has been replaced, I've only had it for a few months, 21k miles on an 04 and not sure of the PO's maintenance aside from the normal oil changes. I haven't had to change a chain yet, just the normal adjustments/cleaning so I'm green at this aspect.
That being said, I looked at the stickied posts and saw the nice write up on the process, got the tools already needed but I'm torn on what chain to get. A riding buddy says he just has a bike master chain on his ZX14 and it's doing fine, I've looked at Motosport and Bike Bandit and they all look around the $150-200 range when searching for my specific bike.
I'm fine with the price but if I don't have to, I'd rather not get a diamond when I can get a rock. It's my daily ride but I have backups if worst comes to worst and I'm waiting on shipping or something.
So, what do y'all recommend for a stock 1st gen? I've looked at the sprockets and they both look good but I might swap them out just for giggles so a combo package isn't out of the question.
Thanks!
