Make sure you use the good stuff. If you think chain is expensive, try buying sprockets and taking the time to replace them.

Use good chain....i use Diamond made in the U.S.A. Diamond have a imperial brand that is made in China and i don't recommend it either. I have 200 hrs on my Avenger and still going with the Diamond chain. My two cents

Note: These machines do not push well.

Anyone use these guys? Chain is made in japan. Was told its good quality... and about $6 ft. ORIENTAL CHAIN MFG.CO.,LTD.

I used Hitachi made in Japan on mine

Allied-Locke, if you follow their Web site, claims to be made in America. After some research, you'll find it's made in Taiwan. I forget the name of the company right now. You're most likely seeing it on eBay, for around $45 or so for 10' if memory serves.

Although there is such thing as good product coming out of Taiwan, I'd rather see you go with HKK, DID or another quality Japanese chain. These folks make timing chains for Honda and Toyota, and when is the last time you ever heard of either of those outfits breaking timing chains?

Diamond, in my opinion, is way over rated and way over priced.

For what it's worth...
