The 530 chain that comes on a Ds is rated for high horsepower bikes. Some of the big bore Ds have converted there chains to a 520. Not sure why, maybe its just a weight thing. I run an Rk chain and it works fine for me.

I don't have one, but I heard that Sidewinder chains and sprockets are some of the most durable one's out there.

Weight is the reason for going to the lighter 520 chains - you lose rotational mass!
The published tensile strength for the EK RXO 520 is 8800 foot pounds! That’s more than most bigger and heavier 530 chains. These chains are commonly used on 150hp race bikes , no prob for the 70hp DS monsters[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
