Dont buy the cheap colored o-ring chains from ebay..they look great, but the cheap one i bought, broke and busted a hole in case of my motor..instead of buying a better chain which usually runs 80 bucks or better i bought the chain and sproket combo for around 70 or so..now im paying dearly for it...still looking for a cheap bottomend or set of cases...

DID, RK, or Regina chains are all good. Just make sure you get a sealed one if you ride anywhere other than on mx tracks.

I'm a huge fan of DID chains; however, they're typically the most expensive. Lately I've been running RK GB520EXW chains and they seem to be holding up really well.

My D I D chain just recently snapped the masterlink and was done riding for the day. I think i just had too much play in the chain and when the shock compressed it loosened up and got off of the sprocket and i was done like that. I love D I D chains but unfortunately i had a bad day, i would definately go with D I D.
