Looking for recommendations for chain and sprockets.
I dont think I need anything extreme, but also not wanting something rubbish that will have to be changed earlier than ideal.

Is there a good place to buy online in NZ for this type of stuff that has good pricing?

Ive enquired with 3 local places, 1 has come back so far.
RK Chain and steel sprockets (non specific model) $399, or DID Chain and JT Sprockets $295.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I've currently got a DID chain and Supersprox Stealth on the 996... Good quality, I think the sprocket looks nice which is important because Ducatis are all about form over function haha!

I had an RK coloured, "LOOK AT ME" chain on my Hyosung several years ago which was surprisingly good, but my R6 and GPX have always had DID chains on them. I can't fault them :)

Yeah I dont think I can go too wrong with either, Im not really one to pull wheelies or go racing hard etc.

First supplier came back with more info:

The RK chain is a RK 530GXW X 114 XW-RING.
The DID is X'Ring 519.16/488.44/530VX112G.
