i am going 520 on my 749 and need a chain. i was looking at the DID erv3, but was curious what else i should be looking at. or should i just spend the money for the DID?

chain

don't cheap out on chains or brakes. I have been running the DIDERV for 10 years on a couple of 996's, a 998r and even on my 900ss/sp. The DID will hold 160hp with ease and last a whole race season, or forever on a streetbike. my2$

get the best chain possible.
the cost of a busted engine case far exceeds the savings of inexpensive or light chain.
I always used DID.

Another vote for DiD, but, if all you're after is a gold chain for the street then the ERV3 is overkill...especially for the price! That suckers expensive. Another vote for not getting the ERV3 for the street is you will get more mileage from one of the other chains designed for such. If it's a track bike or you got the money, disregard and enjoy the bling

if not the erv3 than which would u recommend for the street?

I have this kit on my bike for the past 4000 miles including 9 track-days. I don't have any issues with it (so far). I am thinking about getting that engine casing guard from motowheels, as a just-in-case deal.

The seller is kinda slow. if u buy it from them, keep reminding them about the order every 2 days

None of the DiD chains are bad, and any of them will handle a 749 also. The best one for the street is the ZVM2. I even have that one on my 749 track bike. The 525 in that one is strongerthan the ERV but don't remember about the 520. The ZVM2 will have much longer life on the street as well cause that's what it's made for.
