Caltric chain and sprocket set - Are they any good?

[1978GS750E]

Looking for a new chain and sprockets for my GS550 and came across this on fleabay?..

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Steel-O-Ring-Drive-Chain-Sprocket-Kit-Fits-SUZUKI-GS550E-GS550L-GS550M-GS550T/272212234476?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Has anyone had any experience with this supplier? Price seems reasonable.

Thanks,
Ron

Hard to go wrong at that price level.

Free shipping as well makes it seem almost too good to be true.
Please do report back if you purchase that set-up.

The stock chain on a 750 is a 630 and the stock sprocket is 15-tooth. The chain in the link is a 530, which is a popular upgrade, but the front sprocket should be 18- tooth to maintain the same diameter. Installing a 15-tooth 530 sprocket will likely have the chain dragging on the swingarm.

The stock rear sprocket is a 41-tooth 630. To maintain the same diameter and drive ratio, the equivalent 530 sprocket would have 49 teeth.

The 550 uses a 15/50 530 chain/sprocket setup.

That's what I get for not reading.

I went to the signature and saw a 750, did not bother to read what he was actually working on.

However, my information WAS accurate. The stock chain on a 750 is a 630.
Too bad that tidbit was useless in this case, but it was accurate.

Have to agree, seems too good to be true. Found no reviews on Caltric.
I passed on Caltric and bought a BikeMaster chain and JT sprockets for my recent CBR600 build.

Went ahead and purchased the set. Will be a while before I get them installed as I have to order tires also! I'll post an update when they get installed in a few weeks.

Thanks,

I’ve used caltric chains on the multiple GS’ I’ve owned over the years. Can’t speak to the longevity of the oring chain as I just installed one from caltric about a month ago on my gs750. My last (conventional) chain from caltric lasted about two years. Not bad for the price
