Yeah horses for courses hey? Budget ended up being the deciding factor to some extent and I went for an RK 520MXU4. Gold colour. I mean that as to be worth something right? Looks flash anyway.

Thanks for the tips. Learnt a bit reading through that.

Size of the chain is far more important for performance, if you have a 125cc and running a 520 o-ring chain your throwing away a considerable amount of hp.
Seen 1 HP increase on dyno from lubing a dry chain,
125 MX GP bikes used older chains to race on,
They had less drag.

 ;) spot on.
