If it was me, I wouldn't do it. You should at least get some assurance from the seller that the chain is proven for that application. Then and only then would you even think about it. This is a good example of something that appears too good to be true... Just my two cents...

Someone -- I think Zach -- sent a balancer chain from an engine he was rebuilding to an industrial chain company to see about having replacements made. The answer was basically that the chain was so unusually heavy for its size, they couldn't supply a replacement at a reasonable price. That would make me pretty skeptical of cheap replacements.

I don't know. However, if you cannot find one off of a KLR, somebody reported that a fan motor off an EX500 is the same. Rick
