Which sprockets/chain?
Anyone has favorites? And any place to order?

Sticking with steel sprockets for the Z, 16T and 42T.

RK and DID are fine choices too. I've only broke a chain (520 on my Honda F2. Can't remember the brand.) once back in '99. I don't really notice a difference with final drive parts like one does with brakes, tires and suspension.

You can go either DID ERV3 520 (yes it's more than strong enough) or the EK ZZZ 520

I would go with the AFAM Superlight steel ones......AFAM makes the best sprockets available on the market.

Yes I stock them.....

all motorcycle chains are roller chains, the orings x rings v rings w rings etc serve as seals to keep lubrication inside the rollers

you do not want a non ring chain thats if you could even get one
