Need some clearing up

[BigBadDodge]

Seems like everything i have seen for measuring proper chain length is different and i keep getting confused so simple simple
To count correct "links" I can count the rollers i'm pointing to in the pic right?

I'm in severe need of a chain anyway but am going back a bit more in the arm so want to make sure i have enough.

Also was snooping around dennis kirk and they show the ek ZZZ is only rated for 1100cc while the zvx2 is rated to 1400 but with a lower tensile strength? What makes the difference in how they are rated cc wise. I have been planning on a zzz since it may see the track from time to time but most is just street use, but i also dont want to risk something coming apart and wiping down my expensive arm and everything else in its path

Stock length I believe is 112 links. The chains usually come in 120, 130, 140, 150. One link for every two rivets. The zzz (11,000 lb tensile)is good, I'm running a zvx (10,560 tensile) right now. Either way I think your fine. The ZVX is available in more lengths versus the ZZZ so that may make your decision. How stretched is your bike?

10"

Ok so i need to count the inner sideplate itself than and not the little rollers

I just ordered the 150 and called it good. Havent installed yet, so we'll see how much I got left over

 

[BigBadDodge]

Thats what i was thinking of doing

hey tim how long is that 150 link when its layed out. The one i pulled off the bike was 7'1".

That would be a hell of a lot easier than counting all them little plates

Gimme 5 min, ill go see

[Fastfrog007]

I didnt take sprocket size into account either, Id rather have more than less tho

Yea kinda wondering cause i'm sliding mine back about another 2" from where it was, think i'm going to need to get it setup and see where i'm at.

Sounds you gonna be super-long, im thinkin you'll need the 150 link
