    I ordered mine from EBR the first go to make sure I had the right thing, not a stupid amount more expensive than other suppliers and I knew it was the right stuff. Turns out the chain is the same type my Honda dirtbike uses, just with a riveted link.

    44T is WAY better than stock on the street, you don't have to feather the clutch up to 25-30mph and 6th gear actually gets used. I get that people like the idea of a "race" vehicle on the road, I certainly do. But too often manufacturers go too far on the wrong item trying to demonstrate the "race" aspect. I bought a ZL1 Camaro, it came with track tires that would spin like like you were driving in snow if the tem was below 75 - 80 deg out, usable tires would have been better with the track tires as an option. Same with this bike being geared for the track, 44T should have been stock with 39T as an option. For both vehicles I cited, the vast majority are street driven primarily.

    I went with a D.I.D ERV 3 520 x 120 link chain and Vortex 821-43. The D.I.D ZVM-X is a slightly heavier but works just as good if not better.

    EBR direct for the front sprocket, Vortex direct for the rear sprocket.

    I just ordered some parts direct from EBR and the transaction was smooth and fast. I simply filled out their form and emailed it to them last night at 10pm. Had confirming e-mail this morning and just received shipping information stating that I should have my parts by Friday. Can't beat that service. I am sure that you could get a front sprocket direct from them with no problems

    Thanks heaps guys, i've read the entire thread again a guy posted this
    https://www.amazon.com/JT-Sprockets-...001AVS70I?th=1

    Which is literally 100 dollars cheaper than the original ebr item according to the swedish website lol. I like the look of the vortex one too and its cheaper again!

    The distributor in aus is literally OUT of spares which is abit worrisome. Sorry for draining your lives guys but the help is definately appreciated.
