buy a new one and keep it lubed and see if it still breaks. mine broke last year and a buddy told me that on a bike that pulls like a shee you need to keep it well lubed.

make sure your swingarm bearings are not shot, and adjust the new chain properly. should not be a problem under 80hp

there's a few things that can be the cause of snapping chains.......blown out swing arm bearings allowing the swing arm to move from left to right.......mis-adjusted chain.....cheap garbage chains.....no guard and you hit a rock....

I dont agree with that.. there is other quality chains other then RK and DID... Its nothing more then his opinon and promotional marketing IMO.

I agree.. check out other componets.. carrier bearings and bad sprockets can prematurely wear chains and cause them to break.

I'm pretty sure you wont find any other chain on any real high horespower machines besides regina. I've talked to numerous people who buy chains frequently, and as far as durability and not stretching it is only 1....REGINA CHAIN!!
