My new Gold and black Tsubaki chain is now fitted to my Interceptor and looks pure class.
The quality looks very good too, so here's to many miles with this chain.

fits perfectly, works as needed for my Honda cbr f3, this is my second chain from this company, on the previous one I did about 17k miles, I think it's a good result, it does not stretch too fast, highly recommended

X-Ring chain etc.

I had originally ordered a Renthal chain kit for my CBR but due to Covid, SBS had to re-arrange the order and supply the parts as available. I am about to fit the parts
There's not much you can say about sprocket nuts and the Renthal front sprocket - what it says on the tin.
The chain is a really nice thing, looking great in anodised gold, and has solid 'engineered' feel to it. It arrived well packaged and includes the 'soft' link for joining.
My son has used these chains on his Aprillia Factory track-day bike and has had no issues or excess wear in spite of total neglect.
Great service from SBS as always - well packaged and prompt delivery.
Recommended.

Tsubaki Alpha X-ring Gold.

I recently bought this chain for my Honda CB600F Hornet due to numerous recommendations on the owners club.
The chain came well packed and sealed in it's own little Tsubaki branded bag. Even the packaging felt of high quality.
The chain is a rivet type. Fitting was pretty straight forward and after fitting this chain, I made any final adjustments before setting off for my first ride.
Wow, what a difference! The bike runs smoother, gear shifts are slick, not clunky anymore and the chain looks the business!
Build quality is second to none with this chain. It's very heavy and built to last. I didn't even need to re-adjust the chain after the first ride. IT's that strong. It just doesn't budge. No slack!
I fully recommend Tsubaki chains. They are one of the world's best in my opinion (japanese quality), and service from Sportsbikeshop was excellent as always.

Questions and Answers
Do the chains come with a split link or are they in one piece? Do you need any special tools to fit?
September 14, 2011The chains come supplied with a soft link (rivet link). You would require a chain riveting tool to fit it yourself, these vary in price but the initial outlay can be less than a Bikeshop labour charge for the same job. The next chain change would put the cash straight back in your pocket.
