Hi guys, any recommend any good sites to get a new chain for the RVF, It is a 525 with 102 links (ithink) I found a Alpha XRG (X-ring) for £57.00 on B&C Express. And what the hell is the difference between an X-ring and an O-ring and can i put either on my bike. I want one that is gonna last too.
Any help with links or info is much appreciated.
Thankyou!!!

the difference between an X-ring and an O-ring is the shape of the ring. Very Happy

Where that shows the x's in an O-ring the shape of the rings is an O not an X.
Basically an X has four contact points to keep the lubrication in the chain where a o rig only provides two.

So in theory a X-ring should last longer.

If you really want a chain to last though, scotoilers are great.
