Re: Replacing the Chain And Sprockets on my Crf 250 Rally
When I chose the oem chain for my NC750S I looked at the mileage gained from the use of the original, .. 25,000 miles .. its original fit, and how it wore and deformed , and how it stretched or not. I was happy with all the factors and couldn't see why I shouldn't buy another, especially as the price was actually lower than [possibly dodgy] alternatives.
If you are happy with all the factors, especially the original mileage,.. then .. Good luck with your new purchase.

Re: Replacing the Chain And Sprockets on my Crf 250 Rally
The bike has 12,000 miles on and the chain is definitely buggered but I have no idea how it has been look after by the previous owners. I presume it is the original chain that came when the bike was new in 2018. I think the bike was used as a commuter so maybe the owner might have over looked the chain maintenance. I hope the new Honda one will give me good mileage and I am the sort of person who will ensure the new running gear is looked after very well
Cheers

Re: Replacing the Chain And Sprockets on my Crf 250 Rally
tbh, Rocky, I would expect more mileage than that ... but obviously a well maintained chain is going to last longer ... and if its genuine DID and from Honda, I would expect a good quality .

Re: Replacing the Chain And Sprockets on my Crf 250 Rally
A popular choice is mt21 front, D606 rear.
Some great looking tyres out there now, for off road bias.
I got the mt21 rear and its good on tarmac, much better than irc, but not so grippy off road, I found, but tyre pressures are crucial of course. I not tried the mt21 front yet, but fitted OK, with reasonable effort. I'm hoping the mt21s ballance nicely on tarmac as I plan to ride fair distances to easy trails.
The D606 rear looks more aggressive than the mt21 rear
