Okay, I truly don't have a clue what the pecking order is for chains. I am most likely going to change to a 42 tooth sprocket and will get a new chain as well. So, I turn to you all (my big Busa family) for help. What would be the best chain to get?

hmm, I shoulda asked a similar question a few weeks ago....had to put a new chain on and just went back to the stock type/length. My dealer had one in stock for $100 so I just got it and had it put on. It seemed to do ok for the first 8k miles, so hopefully the new one lasts that long

Great info!!
I personally like the D.I.D. premium x-ring chain. From all the info that I gathered, the x-ring chain has a few advantages over the o-ring chains. So for me, it's the D.I.D. And if I remember correctly, the D.I.D. comes pre-stretched from the factory. So far, I likeeee!

I have a DID VM X-ring on my bike. I have over 16k on the chain and it is almost ready for replacement.

I have seen a lot kicked around about the DID and EK chains. Guess I am just really concerned about whether tensile strength is the only factor to consider. That article talks pretty well about X-ring chains, but I don't know enough about them to know the big differences in the brands.
