Default chain

I had to adjust my parts unlimited chain twice already with only 2,000 or so miles on it. Its also making that clanking noise, i keep it juiced up and clean every 500mi but its still clacking. i understand that the clanking may be something else but i want to start by replacing the ****y part then go from there.
I just wanted to know if anyone can recommend a good chain that maybe they use or want to use id appreciate it, thanks

I'm just running the cheapest RK chain, probably done mabye 5k miles if not more and I think I only adjusted it once which was right after the first ride with it. I periodically check it and it hasn't needed adjusting since.

when you replaced your chain did you replace the sprockets too?

if you are looking into a chain get this one. EK Chain 520 MVXZ. I honastly think it is the best chain on the market. I have used it on my bike on road and track and not once have I had to adjust it. I have also gone to mechanics and riders and they have also mentioned this chain as being one or even the best chain on the market. .I believe it is the best and strongest chain on the market.
P.S When purchaing a chain, I would also reccommend that you also purchase a high quality rear sprocket. u will immediatly see the diffrence in your ridding. and the smooth throttle and gear shifting. They beauty of it is that you no longer need to adjust it ever again.

Default RE: chain

i changed both front and rear sproket with bull**** vortex and a part unlimited chain. when i orginally went to buy one at cycle world i wanted it that day but didnt have it so they said a RK sproket kit was 180.00. i bought it. when i went to pick it up they had a vortex **** and that damn chain and dropped the price to 140.00 so me wanting to hit the streets i bought it. doh. the sprockets look good but the chain needed adjustent twice already and its making that annoying noise from the back end. lube seems to help temporarly then it comes back. so i wanted to change the chain and hopfully fix NOISE, but i read the other post of someone with the same situation so it maybe something else,.? dont know yet but im ganna look that EK Chain 520 MVXZ never heard of that must be pricey. THANKS GUYS APPRECIATE
