I'm in need of a chain and saw this on Ebay.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT Just trying to get opinions. If it's alright I might get it, but I know that it's not good to skimp on important parts like a chain.. Any suggestion is welcomed! Thanks!

I Googled O ring versus standard chain & there are HUGE debates all over the net about this. Personaly I like the idea of the O ring for keeping dirt out...

 

Race techs prefer X-ring, though it may just be from old habit.


Be aware you MUST replace your chain AND SPROCKETS at the same time. NEVER do one without the others. Buy all 3, every time.

 

What year is your bike ? Those sites are incorrect in stating that the chain fits 95 - 97 F3's. The 97's take a 525 chain as well as the 98. IMO those sprockets look pretty cheezy, but that's just me.

The RK chain is probably an OK brand, but I'd look into better sprockets. Steel is going to last longer, alloy/aluminum is lighter but wears quicker.
Maybe something along these lines.

DriveSystems Steel for 97/98

 

Mine is a '95 frame with a '98 engine.
