best chain and sprocket kit?

[hondaking52]

i need a new chain/sprockets, and was wondering wat was the best kit to get? and i dont want the $400 smart chain

[chadbarger18]

always used rethal on my bikes with a did chain i think the gold chain they wrked very well also light and had litte wear when i sold the bike a year later but havent had to change anything on a quad yet

I don't know how much you are looking at spending but I would buy Tag Metals Sprockets and a DID non o-ring chain.
Should run you about $140 dollars and you'll have some sprockets that last long.

ya i was looking at that kit on goldenwestcycle, and it costs 140, i was wondering if they were good sprockets

[hondaking52]

and why a non o-ring chain?

[mooseracerX]

Yeah they are steel so they won't wear out in a week. The only reason I said non o-ring is because they are cheaper. I bought a $20 chain from my local Honda Dealer and it works just as good as an expensive chain, and I a bunch of jumping which is hard on chains.

the tag rears are aluminum i believe

Huh weird in my old Motosport it says the rear is made of low carbon high nickel content chromoly steel. And the front is made out of 7075-T6 Aluminum.

[hondaking52]

ya just looked on tag's site, rears are hard coated..., i'm guessing aluminum

[mooseracerX]

Well in that case JT sprockets are steel. In fact I have two of them right now. They are really cheap too. I think it was like $12 for the front and like $40 for the rear.

so aluminum sprockets are no good?

[buck440]

first of all the smartchain i around 180

[hondaking52]

ya but then the sprockets are on top of tht......

[mooseracerX]

Aluminum sprockets don't hold up well. Steel would be cheaper and last longer.

[hondaking52]

ya i think i'm gona get tht kit you showed me mooseracerx, looks pretty good, and its way cheaper

[buck440]

you dont need to get the ti sprocket, i wouldnt

I have the sidewinder Ti 520 w/front/rear Ti sprockets ......They have not stretched much at all or rounded lobes, They are a little pricey though (no more than renthal). I just purchased a DID Gold non oring for drag..seems to be good now, heard others say they stretch prematurely
