    chain - How do I tell what kind I have - 630/530 Oring/Standard

    chain - How do I tell what kind I have - 630/530 Oring/Standard

    how do I tell the difference in the 530/630

    I am combining the 1983s and maintaining the 81

    year / model / teeth on rear sprocket
    1983 750E T50
    1983 750ES T43 - says 530/43 so I'm guessing it has a 530 chain
    1981 750L T40

    The E has the largest diameter

    The ES has a smaller diameter than the E

    The L is between the E and the ES

    The L is only slightly smaller than the E which surprise me since it counts 10 teeth less.

    1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
    1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be nice

        If you can see the o-rings, that's what you have.

              It is! Anything harsher could was out the grease if it gets to it.

                In reasonable quantnties. Put some on a rag, wipe. Don't soak. Kerosene will swell rubber up to twice its normal size if you leave it in overnight.
