The only bad thing is, the 41 doesn't have the cool motorcycle look, meh..
I've heard good things about the KMC hl710, some guys at the race use that chain.Kmc hl710 works great. Its halflink and provides better adjustments
The Wippermann 1R8 chain is a BMX chain that is 1/2 x 1/8. It has a breaking load of 12,500 Newton. It has nickle plated reinforced links, it is not crap.Generally speaking, 2 digit chains are for slow industrial purposes, 3 digit chains are for powersports. Buy a quality 415 or the $20 version 420 from your local MC shop. 41 chain is crap.
41 chain is popular on gokarts that make triple the hp and double the RPM of a motorized bicycle all the while being installed in heavier vehicles. It is cheap, light, and lasts forever.Generally speaking, 2 digit chains are for slow industrial purposes, 3 digit chains are for powersports.

No, 35 chain is the most popular on karts, followed by 219, followed by shifters that run 530... I worked in a karting shop and I’ve never seen a 41 on anything with an engine. we didn’t even sell 41. You are probably thinking of 40 chain which is much heavier duty than 41 and sized for a thicker sprocket.41 chain is popular on gokarts that make triple the hp and double the RPM of a motorized bicycle all the while being installed in heavier vehicles.

Not exactly "crap"...its better than a 415 in every way.
That would be a 410 chain. Too thin inside.The Wippermann 1R8 chain is a BMX chain that is 1/2 x 1/8. It has a breaking load of 12,500 Newton. It has nickle plated reinforced links, it is not crap.
Too thin my ass. You might be talking from experience from 30 years ago. There are some hella beefy 410 chains out there now. If I ever have issues with my 710 chain (also a 410) then I'm trying out one of the connex chains made for ebikes.That would be a 410 chain. Too thin inside.
No clue where your karting shop is but I have never seen any kart or custom fab shop NOT sell 41 chain. There are a lot of 41 chains in motorsports and some of the most popular brands like manco and yerf both have karts that come stock with 41 chain.No, 35 chain is the most popular on karts, followed by 219, followed by shifters that run 530...
