Best chain and sprockets?

[wicked251]

Whats everyones opinion on chains and sprockets. I need a new set for the Zilla. I am looking at a Sidewinder set but they are a little pricey. Give me your thoughts.

I had two sidewinder sprokets, the aluminum ones. They worked fine in the dirt but everytime I went to the sand it ate up the teeth. It was pretty crazy, the first one they replaced and after the second I just put the stock one back on.

I heard that the DID o-ring chain is a very good chain, at a price of $75 it is too a little pricy. However for sprockets, go with the sidewinder, I have read alot of articals on these sprockets, aloys that self clean, Its amazing!!

Ill see if I can find my old swidewinder sprocket and get a picture of the teeth split down the center and you can make your own decision.

Thanks for the input, but Im interested in in the high density tool steel sprokets. Ive had the zilla eat several aluminum sprokets in the past.
I want to buy something that will last(at least a decent amount of time). Whats everyone running on their Shees?

That aluminum Sidewinder came from what, the early 80's? The new tri-alloy sprockets they produce today are the finest available on the market. I've been using the Sidewinder on my XR600 for 5 years solid with no sign of wear at all. Chains even last a bit longer using the Sidewinder sprockets. Besides which, non-race use Sidewinder sprockets are guarenteed for life. Send those two back and get free replacements.

I have sidewinders on my banshee. I have the Tri-moly and the harden steel front. ThenI have the triple chrome plated chain. I don't think I have adjusted my carrier once in the year that I have had it. The thing just don't streatch.

I have always used sidewinders they are a great company to deal with.
