Motorcycle chains should be up to the power requirements. Motorcycles
with considerably more power use chain or belt drives. If you're not in
possesion of the sprockets, I'd suggest considering the motorcycle belt
drives as being less maintenence headache over time - they do need to be
well-aligned to begin with, but they stretch less (thus require
adjusting less) and attract a lot less dirt & grime to themselves.


Far and away the major cause of cycle chain "stretch" is wear due to road
dust/grit.

Enclosing the chain fully in a case with an oilbath will remove this.
