index.php?act=findpost&pid=5379Where did you get the 30,000 tensile from??
I use the EK DRZ530 chain with 11,500 tensile. Good up to 300hp on asphalt.
Never had a problem with it.

Thats the same one I use. I used to have a high tinsle strenth 520 (not 30,000 though) and it would stretch every time I made a pass. It never broke but it stretched a ton. With this EK 530, it hasnt stretched once.
The 530 sprocket it beefier than the 520. I know some street bikes use 520, but if you figure weight, and paddles and turning two tires that are spread out as opposed to one tire with the rear sprocket right up against it. Again, I dont know. I dont have any good answers just guesstaments LOL. All I know is I havnt had any trouble since I switched.
