        I ran a Renthal X ring 520 and was very pleased with it. But have since reverted back to a O ring tsukaba 428 pitch to save weight. I am now running Regina 415 on my RS.

          JT sprockets do the job, and I'm very pleased with my Renthal R1 428 chain, about £30 and not O ring, just keep it cleaned and lubed every couple long rides and it'll do you well.

            Jt sprockets from an old YZ125, and a quality 520 chain of your choice will last about forever on this bike. I used a Did vx2 chain for all my bikes.

                  Thanks for your help guys i decided to go with the 420 in the end just on the price factor as i got it for 40 with o ring and sprockets

                    @Calum well as you said it weights more. And there is no need for it.

                        Yes a 428 is lighter per link, but you also need more liks than a 520 because a 428 is smaller.
                        We've talked about the supersmall weight difference in another thread, so please, lets not go there again 😃
