Possible Andy, but I wouldn't fancy it! Stupidly expensive, very thin and slingy (it'd throw it everywhere!). Lastly, I'm not sure that ACF is a lubricant, more of a protectant :-?
Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains, however improbable, must be the part you forgot to service.

EK ZZZ chain is the highest spec on the market, higher than DID, though DID bought EK some years ago.

My reccommendation

You will both wish you had the "old fashioned chain" when your super duper shaft drive eventually shafts you, and it will!!! :D

I put one of these on my zzr1100 and it lasted in excess of 30K mostly 2up (with a scottoiler fitted) no stretch or anything adverse apart from the anodising fell off at about 25k, in fact when the bike went up in flames a few weeks ago it was one of the few things that was still intact (obviously the X-rings would have gone) but it survived a fire hot enough to melt the frame into 2 parts. Wasn't cheap but with afam steel sprocks I was impressed. :thumbsup)

It replaced a SSS which had rollers fall off within a few thou of getting the bike. :sick) I'd use string before one of those :D

When it comes to time to replace the chain on the xx EK ZZZ will be my chain of choice (if I can find one) :rockon)
Cheers
Gaz

XX the new ZZ
