Looks like I am the ODDball here. I do not and will not ever use a Tsubaki
chain
I have broke 2 low mileage chains and they stretch like crazy.
I use the RK Oring chains never broke one, they stretch for the first 2 runs
but after that
they are low maintenance .These experiences are running these chains on a
250hp Hayabusa
and a 350hp Turbo GSXR1100 so bikes with less hp might be fine with the
Tsubaki.
