    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Lube Free Chains, Good or Bad?

Show me! Find something with over 30000 tensile strength in a 530.

The GS can pull well over 300 HP. Way more than the stock GSXR. And while you can thrash an old GS with a little street tire all day long, a 10" drag slick tends to not be so forgiving on parts.

Ok, ok, leave it to the drag bike master to bring in a 300hp gs with a 10" slick... this is an unusual circumstance. A little quick research on the web shows me that you are right, the average 630's are commonly around 15k tensile and the 530's are around 10.5k. The EK website suggests a 10.k tensile chain for up to 180hp, and even shows a 530 chain under the dragbike section with a tensile strength of 11.5k for a bike to 300hp.
 
LOL

I am guessing your right and that the majority of the GS's on this site are under 100 HP and would make a good case for the smaller chains. I was just going for the black and white argument.

EK does make some very nice products.
