I need the strongest chain available for my Polaris project quad. What brand do you think is the strongest. Money is no concern strength is most important. What do you think ?

 

I would'nt spend the money on the fancy sidewinder stuff,i know someone that bought the fancy titanium stuff and it wore out just like the regular stuff.Plus he could have bought 3 or 4 regular chains for the price.

 

something thats an X ring. i have a parts unlimited x ring on mine. granted i have a chain tensioner and all but its really strong. i have had it on for almost a year and havnt needed to adjust it one bit. its also only a 250 with mabye 33 or so HP on it and thats at the crank and your sled motor is pumpin what 110? thats another factor. but if u can get a chain tensioner on it get one and get the did x ring or an equivelent of that and you should be good to go!!
good luck

Well I think you have 2 options. First is to buy a good chain in a 520. DID makes a great high tensile chain for about $100. The other option (which I think is the best) is to put on a set of sprockets and a 530 motorcycle size chain. Then your bullet-proof for sure. The only small problem I could see with that is having a sprocket machined to fit the tranny, but that would be a minor thing.

Also, are you going to run the sled clutches, or the ATV cluthces?

 

I'm running the sled clutches. They look much stronger and the belt is stronger. I am having some sprokets custom made to fit everything together. Thanks for the chain info.

I was thinking the same thing about the bike chain, that would handle the power.

 

The DS650 comes with 530 chain stock. Those guys are always looking to go to 520 to save weight.
