    chain for gs400

    Hi all - need a new chain for my '78 gs400 and found the following info via the search option:

    Chain: DID 50 UB 104 links 20 pitch

    There's nothing in the shop manual that I can find, what chain do I need? 420 / 520 / ???

    I believe it's a 530-104, but you're right it's hard to find an official reference. The Suzuki manual (for my '77) says:

    DAIDO #50HDS or TAKASAGO #50SH, 104 links

    BikeBandit and Alpha Sports say 104 links, but nothing else. At Motorcycle Superstore.com http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/, if you go to parts, and search by vehicle, they show the chain as 530x104...

        Would this chain size be the same for a 450s?

            The length and sprocket ratio both change depending on year. My 1982 GS400EZ took 110 links of 530.

              chain

              take the time to count the links on the old chain in case the spockets have been changed to a different ratio
