Manufacturers

D.I.D.

DID makes a variety of chains.

  • X-Ring ERV "Exclusive Racing ER X-Ring"
    • 520ERV3, 525ERV, 50ERV (530)
    • "world's lowest friction chain"
    • "D.I.D. ER chain is designed exclusively for motorcycle racing." (from specs)
  • X-Ring VM "Premium X-Ring VM"
    • 428VM, 520VM, 525VM, 50VM (530), 532ZLV
  • X-Ring ZVM "Super Street X^2 Ring"
    • 520ZVM2, 525ZVM2, 50ZVM2 (530)
    • seems to offer greatest wear resistance.
      • "The new X-Ring retains all the low friction, high performance characteristics of the standard X-Ring while providing a significant increase in Wear Resistance and overall life of the chain."
      • "Super Street Chains are the strongest, longest wearing high-performance drive chains available." (from [http://www.didchain.com/specs.htm specs)

Lubrication

Aerosol

I have found "DuPont Teflon Silicone Lubricant NSF H-2" (DuPont brochure) to be an excellent chain lubricant ($6.29 from Amazon.com)


Automatic Chain Oilers

Electronic
