One guy on the Yamaha FJ Mailing list got 48,000 miles out of this chain with a scottoiler. He rides long distance rallies, and has done numerous 1K and 1.5K days, and a 2K day. In fact, he did 2 1.5K days to and from Montana for his 2K day. The FJ is a notoriously grunty bike and the general consensus of those of us on that list is DID or take the cage. It should be up to task. It is however, a bit spendy, expect to spend $180. As for Sprockets, I'm sure most of what the big boys use (Afam, RK, etc) should work fine. Tires? I dunno. I use K591's on my FJ, since it'll 'only' do 145, and I scrape peg LONG before I run out of traction with them. Any of the latest rubber (ME-Z4, D205/207, BT57) etc should suit you fine, as long as it's Z rated. > Hi, > Has anyone got a recommendation for tires and chains/sprockets. > > I want to at least "feel" somewhat "safe" when I'm travelling fast, and > tires/chains are > one of my concerns, will they hold at 300km/hour? > > Cheers, > Jesper > Double Turbo VFR750, "adjustable" 200-250bhp > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Charette Five0@skypoint.com | http://www.skypoint.com/~five0 DoD:#1915 1985 Yamaha FJ1100 NRA:Life Newton's 17th law of Life in America: For every action there is an unequal and moronic overreaction. --R&T, 4/98 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
