Default Recommend a chain!

I'm building an f4i street fighter and am so close to being done. Link to build.

https://cbrforum.com/forum/street-fi...-build-142569/

I put vortex sprockets on it (-1, stock) and need a chain. The bike shop in Huntsville had a bike masters chain in stock but I didn't get it just yet. The guy who rode with me looked up reviews on the ride home and didn't find a good one at all. I don't stunt, wheelie, or ride too aggressively. I don't wanna go broke buying a chain, but I also don't want one that's gonna come loose with me through a curve. Also need a back brake line. Any recommendations on that? I've been buying most of my stuff from Bike Bandit, but got my back tire from sport bike track gear. Thanks in advance!

RK or D.I.D. Check out Sprocket Center.

I should have put this in the original post, but the bike masters chain was also a non o-ring. Is there any significant difference in the chains that do have the o-rings?

EDIT: I did some quick research and gonna go with o-ring chain

O-ring will have longer life and X-ring even longer than O.

That is if you do your maintenance.

On my F4 & RC51, I'm currently using D.I.D Gold Xring chains.
Excellent performing & long lasting chains (given prop maint of course).
