I purchased a 520 conversion kit off of ebay from Sum of All Parts.
It was supposed to come with a RK GXW chain but I received a WPS
520HSO chain, part #69-5820G. When I contacted them about it they
argued that I did not read the description close enough (even though
the GXW was in MUCH larger print than the WPS) but also said that:
"The tensile strength on the TYC is actually 8987 vs 8800 on the RK
GXW Chain. Both of which are more than capable of handling the
horsepower output of your CBR." They offered to send me the GXW chain
if I paid them $20 more.
My questions are: 1. Does anyone have experience with the WPS chains?
2. Am I correct in thinking that the tensile strength is not as
stated? 3. Should I argue some more or pay the $20 for what would
likely be a better chain?
My ultimate goal is to see how quickly I can reach top speed, and I
want the chain to be up to the task. I don't want any weak links
