Thanks

Just buy an heavyduty non Oring KMC chain. You'll have to cut it down to fit, but an Oring chain has to much drag for the little blaster. I also bought a chain breaker to assit with the job.
Well when a stock blaster is only rated at 18.5 horse you dont need any more drag than neccesary. I deffinatly run an Oring chain on my yzf450. Its up in the 50 horse plus range and you dont notice the hp loss from a Oring chain. An Oring chain will rob 2-4 horse from a blaster. Try putting the rear on a stand and spin the rear wheels with an Oring cahin. Result is that is doesn't spin very good, now try the same test with a non Oring chain. WOW what a huge differance . Trust me our quad is stacked and i woudn't have scimped on a non oring chain unles it affected the performance.
A Oring chain is a little nicer and will last longer than a non Oring chain, but the Oring will cost 45-75 dollars compared to 15 dolla. Just go to your local dealer and get a heavy duty KMC chain and you'll love it.I:I
Yes i think the stock chain might be an Oring. You should be able to see a little oring on each side of the link.
