    Primary Drive

    Anyone have their sprockets or chain? They seem to be the cheapest brand, but is the quality also the worst? I need a front, back, and a chain too. Are you happy with it if you have it?

    I have Primary Drive sprockets with a DID chain. The sprockets have held up well for the price. They aren't going to be as good as a sidewinder, but they get the job done.

    i am running renthal sprokets and an o ring chain, at first i was going through like 1 every week and a half, i thought they were ***** but it was b/c my chain was loose, i think if you keep your chain at the right tension, most will last as long as the others

    I had the primary drive front and rear sprockets along with a RK x-ring chain on my 250x, and had them on their for about a year, never once did my chain loosen, nor did the sprockets ever show signes of wear.. Id buy them again.

    Sounds great guys. I've heard from some people that the PrimaryDrive chain isn't that good though....
    What is another brand that makes an affordable, yet reliable chain? Should I just get Primary's chain?

    I would also reccomen the Rk X-ring chain. I don't even know what kind of sprockets I have. I am trying to gear mine perfect right now so I go in and ask for the cheapest possible.
