Drive Chain and Sprockets

I am now at the point of replacing my drive chain and sprockets. As far as the sprockets go I am going with stock replacements. What I seek now is opinions on type of chain to use any input will be greatly appreciated. My last bike was a shaft so I am not real keen on chains.

Thanks in advance,
Todd

Get a good quality 0-ring chain - you will be glad you did. Some prefer endless chains, others (like me) do not mind master links. I'll let the rest voice their opinions on that.

BTW I grew up in Largo, went to Largo High class of '74.

Talk to Jeff at Z1 ( www.z1enterprises.com/ ), in my opinion, he's an expert on this sort of stuff. He's also got good prices on both sprockets and chains.

If you are going with stock replacement sprockets, then you are limited to 630 chain.
And there just isn't a lot of options for 630 chain.
