D.I.D. ZVM X-Ring (10,400 tensile strength). It's not a gold chain but it's a great chain. I have about 10,000 miles on mine now and it doesn't have any kinks or missing X-rings and it's not prone to stretching.

I think motorhead uses the EK 530ZVX chain on his turbo busas. Thats a good enough recommendation for me.

My chain spit out at 1200 miles,I wasn't even beating/racing it yet,And I was only going about 30MPH..It bent the clutch rod and shortly after my tranny went!! My dealer said SUZUKI wouldn't cover it at the time(00)..

I thought because I was going easy and the chain came right out it didn't do any damage,I was wrong it even cracked the tranny cover on the way out!!

I have a TSUBAKI SIGMA Now with 7500 Hard miles..No problems yet..(knock on WOOD!!)...

Just My 0.02

Where did the chain fail (master link??) and what did the break look like? Your bike only had 1200 miles on it and the OEM chain broke just like that??
