    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

New Chain

I will be looking for a new chain later this winter for my 550T. I have been told by many people to not skimp on the chain and I don't intend to. I also know the chains sold by places like my dealer or Z1 are going to be a pretty decent quality. However, how do I know if chains like the one below is okay to use? How much do I trust Ebay on something like that?

Thanks Almarconi. If I find a name brand on Ebay, do I trust it or better to go through a shop/parts house?
 
RK,EK,Tsubaki,DID all make quality chains. Buy it from the place you find it the cheapest. OEM chains are not made by Suzuki, they are made by one of the major manufacturers and packaged in a Suzuki box.
