Chain for F4i
Hey guys,
I'm a newbie-- just bought a 2001 F4i about a month ago and completed my MSF course yesterday!
I've noticed that my chain clicks whenever I started it up in the morning and put it in gear.
The bike has 29k miles on it so I figured I need to buy a new chain.
What kind of chain should I buy? By this, I guess I mean the size??? Thanks for the help guys!!!

Congrats!
Since I'm not at work at the moment, I don't have access to the comparison charts (to find out your stock size) to check on that. RK makes a good chain and they have a good warranty.
I can check when I get in this morning and get back to you on that unless someone else answers this for you. :-)

yea 525...as far as # of links, you're going to have to see what sprocket size you have...if the previous guy changed it...then it won't be stock amount...
also, i personally use nothing but DID, i've never heard any horror stories of DID, but the others...yes...and personally experienced some nastiness with another chain company...

You mentioned a click when you put it in gear. Seems like the characteristic 1st gear Honda Click. Are you sure the chain clicks?????

I do believe it is the chain that clicks. But it's not only in first gear tho. I lubed it couple weeks ago and it seemed fine but started up again last weekend. The bike has 29k miles on it so I think it'd be better to be on the safe side and get new chain/sprocket.
