Also, as far as chains, I've read a lot on 520 chains, however my bike runs 428 and there aren't a lot of options for O-ring or X-ring chains.

I don't want to spend 70 bucks on a chain anyway... my main concern is what I can "get away with" on my bike.

Most cheaper chains (30 bucks and under) will say they have a tensile strength around 5,000lbs and are NOT to be used on bikes OVER 125cc. Ok... well that leaves a lot to interpret. My bike is a RT180, however it's not nearly as powerful as say a YZ125.

Can I get away with running cheaper 125-use chain on my 180 for basic trail riding and woods riding...

I'm not going to be pounding this thing on the MX track or anything, maybe once in a while, but not racing hard-core.

Thanks for the input.

Dan

PS... please no "get what you pay for" replies... I know that if I spent 200 bucks on a new final drive I'd be better off and it'd probably outlast my bike... however... I'm cheap, and I want something that works well for a reasonable price. I was mainly looking at RK, Tsubaki chains which are both over 5,000lbs tensile and are pre-stretched. The RK is 40.99 and the Tsubaki is  29.99
