What is the best chain and sprockets to get? I ride in a sand pit a lot and I need a chain and sprockets that will not wear down as fast as the stock ones.

i would go with renthal. they r very good. get an o-ring chain to prevent sand and dirt from getting into the links and grinding it apart

DON'T waste your $$$$$$$ on Sidewinder products !!!!!
Biggest POS on the market.
That is the ONLY chain that has ever left me stranded on the trail.

I bought into all there hype about "This is the last chain and sprocket you may ever have to buy".
Spent about $350.00 on one of there 14,000lb ti-molly ATV chains, front and rear sprocket and there chain lube.
After about 5hr riding time the chain broke.
Not at the master link where I thought it would seperate, but right in the middle of the chain.
I wrote to the company about what happened and expeced that they would try to tell me that it was not installed properly or some other lame excuse.
I never even got a response from them about anything.
I will never do any business with any company that won't stand behind there products the way that Sidewinder just blows you off that way !!!
I did like there chain lube though, but I will NOT spend any more of my $$$ with those people ever again !!!!!!!!
Also one of my buddies had one of there chains on his bike and it broke too.
The ONLY chains that I have seen just flat out brake in all the years that I have been riding. Sidewinder = Overpriced POS
