My chain broke today and i was wondering what you guys would recommend as a good chain that will last me awhile? and do i have to replace my sprockets to?

I run the D.I.D Atv X-ring chain, it hasn't stretched much since I broke it in and it's built for the torque big quads make. Sprockets just depend on how the teeth look, if they aren't thin are worn you should be fine. If you do get new sprockets I would stick with steel and stay away from aluminum (just my opinion). I tried running an aluminum rear to save some weight but I wore it out pretty quick!

I also use the DID X ring. I would say just inspect the sprockets well. If they have been on there for a long time or you can se some wear, I would go ahead and replace those too.
