Ok, so it's not an IWIS (which it was meant to be!), but does anyone have any idea what it is? Cheap rubbish that should go straight in the bin? OK but not in the IWIS league? It's going in a ported Rapido Classic 225 (approx stage 4, 170 ex, 150 in, 125 trans, matched casing & manifolds with 30mm PHBH, JL3 & Mtech) so i'm hoping for about 15hp.
The only identifying marks on the chain are "C.M." and "06B"

Hope someone can help with an ID.

If you're in any doubt about the quality,bin it and replaced with an IWIS
I do not try to explain why I ride Lambrettas,
For those who understand, no explanation is necessary,
For those who don't, no explantion is possible.

I think that's what I'm going to do, but I'd still like to know what this one is. :lol: One thing I did find is that "06" is the pitch (3/8") and "B" means European Standard (Whatever that is, ISO I suspect).

Anyway thanks for both taking the trouble to reply.

Chuck it in the bin and take a trip to Tsubaki in Welshpool, you can get 10ft of chain the same price as an Iwis.

It is high spec japanese chain that is pre - stretched, they will rivet for you or supply a connecting link. I use it in 30 + hp engines and it has been very reliable so far.
