Hey my chain is old and crappy and just popped off for the second time and totally wrecked every thing i my clutch housing. so if any of you guys know of a good place to get a new chain that would be awsome.

I dont care about getting the best chain just one that works. the shop in town here wants $176 for a chain and there is no way I am gunna pay that.

Replace both sprockets also. If the chain is in that bad of shape, its a for sure the sprockets are garbage and will destroy any new chain you install in a VERY short tome.

z1 enterpises or dennis kirk are both good sources for sprockets and chains.

Popped off!!???

For the SECOND TIME?????

Do you have a death wish?

And by "wrecked everything". Do you mean punched a hole in the engine case? That would be very bad.

Well it was my falt the first time because of my lack of knolage. but this time it I dont know why I have kept a watch full eye on it ever since the first time but I was just playing with the throttle(pulling it back really quick a bunch of times so the bike would kick me back and it came off) when I was in first gear just pulling out of the parking lot. then a loud pop like I threw a rod, so I coasted over to the side walk and presto there was a big patch of oil on the side walk.

So my buddy went and got his truck and then we went home and I took off the clutch cover on the left side of the bike and the chain was wrapped up over it's self and the clutch push rod was bent and broken off. luckly that is where the oil came from and not from any where else. I turned it over today once I got the chain off and she is just fine.

If anybody has an extra pushrod for the clutch I think the 650 one will work on my 550.

Please let me know.

530 chain, 110 links. I bought a RK X-ring chain from http://www.mawonline.com/newsite/rk-...-RING%20CHAINS for $65 + shipping. Best deal going.

Wow that is a good price. I've been running non o-ring chains on my bikes. For that price I'll have to give the X-ring a try the next time I replace the chain.

Let us know how it goes as far as installation, gearing, etc. My next chain on the 550 will likely be a 520.
