Default What chain and sprocket?

The chain on my wr250 is knackered lookin to replace it with something decent, I have been using the bike for trail riding, a few hare and hound races and a few mx practice days,

Any suggestions on what type to go for (it's a 520 chain btw)

Gonna change the rear sprocket too what you reckon alloy or steel? at present there's a jt steel one but that's nearing the end of its life to so just gonna change it too.

I'd stay away from JT the cahins are made of butter. I've had good luck with regina OR chains, they seem to really last, can get at least a half season of hard racing. I'd go for a supersprox stealth rear sprocket, best of both words,has the aluminum inner bit to save on weight but the teeth are steel so they won't wear out as much. I find a full steel sprocket too heavy and will rob a lot of power.

Don't be tempted to buy a cheap chain for your bike. I made the mistake of buying a cheap THC chain thinking i could save a few quid. Stretched like an elastic band and the links seized up, that got the bin after not too long even though i cleaned and oiled it reguraly. I use a renthal gold-series chain on my bike now and its a great chain.
