good chain
Tyler in IA
Comments On Dec 14, 2007:great chain for normal riding. I run this on my DR350 and it has been great. The x-ring is the way to go for racing.
Additional Comments On Aug 17, 2011:i got 3000 + miles out of mine. i am buying another for sure.

Not worth buying
Tommi in VIC
Comments On Jul 25, 2011:I bought this product and lasted me 11 hours of trail riding till an inner link broke. I was lucky to see the crack, could have been dangerous if the chain broke

ever stretching chain
Peter in CA
Comments On Jul 28, 2011:After about 400 miles of riding on my XR650L - some moderate offroad - this chain has stretched to the point where it is quite loose around the sprockets.
I bought it because of reviews that said it was strong and didn't stretch, but that's not the case for the Big Red Pig XR650L. I'll have to get a quality o-ring for my replacement.
One plus about the chain is that it has stayed very clean because of the gaps in the inner links; no gook or mud piling on at all.
It might be the right chain for a lower torque bike.

Primary Drive Makes Excellent Chains And Sprockets
W in PA
Comments On Apr 14, 2011:This may be just a regular chain but it is made very sturdy and strong.They wear exceptionally well and last a very long time.The o ring type chain i bought also was a primary drive chain and it took 2 years to stretch out and wear.Still working i just purchased this one for when the o ring chain wears out.You must maintain a chain to extend its life.If anyone tells you their chain wore out fast it was because they did not take care of it properly and keep it in adjustment.

Great chain for small-bore racers
ART in CA
Comments On Oct 12, 2010:I have this chain on a SX 250 and a YZ125. It stretchs out quickly on the big two-stroke. Its lightwieght and the back wheel spins easy with this chain. For 250Fs and below, it is a great choice as I think this will put more power to the rear wheel than any other chain I've tried.

Primary Drive 520 Chain
Jason in CO
Comments On May 14, 2010:I give this product a thumbs up. I think it is an economical buy for a non-racer who doesn't ride every weekend. I only have a couple of hours on it, but it is holding up just fine. I recommend this product to riders who want an affordable product that is durable.

great for the price
michael in MN
Comments On May 12, 2010:chain is great for someone who doesn't ride every weekend all weekend. If you ride a lot you need to tighten it every 4-6 hours of hard riding. Its worth more then what your buying it for though.

Primary Drive Pro chain
Steve in AZ
Comments On Feb 24, 2008:I bought this chain as a temporary chain and it did it's job, but I wouldn't buy it as a permanent chain. It wears pretty quick and stretches a lot. If you're looking for a good chain, spend a little more money.
