hrc1 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Chains - all makers sell different grades of the same size chain and different prices too...... So a std or trials chain, say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbeta23 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) Get a Standard Honda chain, the best chain for the Montesa's ever Edited February 28, 2009 by GasGasben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave dix Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 But where do honda source their chains from?. I remember when i worked in a m/c shop and a guy came in asking for some honda 2 stroke oil which we had run out off so i told him to buy some ELF 2t as it was the same oil but half the price because elf was sponsoring honda racing and his answer was ' i wouldn't put that crap in my bike' , there is no pleasing some people Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave dix Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Have a look at the links on a honda chain to see what is stamped, it may be h/m as all genuine honda manufactured parts have it or it could be DID or nothing at all but worth a look as it may save a lot of money Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathew Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thought I would add this to the mix. An RK "U" ring chain fits fine on my montesa (and I would suspect any other trials) and a DID "T"ring chain should too. Having come from offroad bikes with o-ring chains that last forever while being dealt way more power on a heavier bike, it just killed me to put a non-oring chain on and have to mess with cleaning and oiling it and still wearing out in no time. The U and T ring chains are newer "narrow" versions of o-rings and are just barely wider than a standard chain, and both claim to have a decrease in friction vs standard o-ring. Sounded perfect to me so I tried it. I went with the RK since they used a standard clip on master link instead of DID using a rivet style. Have had it on my montesa for 2 years without ANY adjustment or lube of any kind. It is effectively maintenance free in trials use from what I can see.
