What's the best drive chain for my H2C?

[BudgieZ1]

I am looking for advice on what drive chain is the "go to" choice for a standard H2C these days. Mine has a couple of stiff links and I think rather than faff about I should just get a new one. Rear sprocket looks good and as I have only just discovered it today I haven't looked any further than that. Is it wise to just get sprockets too? Looking forward to hearing a few different opinions! I was recommended Tsubaki chains and J.T sprockets for my Zed but I just wondered what the forum's opinions might be for a triple?

Whatsoever the brand O ring chain 5.20 or 5.25 ( with of course 5.20 or 5.25 front rear sprockets) as the 530 could hit badly the clutch actuator
You do between 25.000 and 30.000 miles with such chain, genuine or kind of genuine only 3.000 miles

You forget JP, that for a lot of us 3,000 miles = 10 years riding

530 will miss clutch actuator 'unless' it is using the ball type actuator and it has a spacer underneath it due to wrong actuator rod oil seal

perhaps but with genuine chain you tighten it around 250 360 miles and less under rain. O ring rain or not it's 1200 1300 miles

am Project H2 actuator on one and ball type actuator with the right actuator rod oil seal on an other 530 hits the clutch actuator on both.
Anyway am 520 0 ring cause you less more power

I have a Ralf Gille brass clutch actuator — so will a 530 chain and appropriate sprockets be okay do you think?

If you don’t buy a heavy duty with o rings 530 chain It should clear the actuator. With the mileage most people do an o ring chain is unnecessary
