Chain
 

What type of chain is stock on the 4pt 2000/2001 model?

Is it O ring?

Yes, definitely. The workshop manual confirms this. Surprisingly enough, the handbook doesn't mention the chain, neither size nor type. It does, however, advise you that the transmission is a left foot operation! :rofl:

Lol, the owners manual is not exactly forthcoming with useful information.

Where did you get the workshop manual from and is it any good?

I emailed Haynes but was informed they don't have a manual for the XT600E.

Back to the chain, the stock one from CMS is 203 Euros, ouch!
A heavy duty one online is £29.99 or an X ring DID 520VX is £55.

I was thinking of buying the X ring. Any reason why I should not use the X ring DID chain?

Buy the did vx ring chain, they always work.

Buy the best you can afford, it's always worth it in the end.
Regarding the manual, look at the links at the top of the list of threads. One is for the manual, the other for the parts list.

X-rings are a better quality sealing ring than the 0-ring.

Any DID 0-ring or X-ring will do the job.

I cant remember if it's a 520 or 525 !! Check the manual or the old one.

its 520.

kedo has 525 heavy duty kits availible.
