Cheers in advance for any advice.

Hmmm.....X-ring chains are probably the best....from the likes of DID etc......as for sprockets, you could get Renthal ones......or just stick with OEM if money is an issue. Lots of online companies do chains, sprockets and kits....check out Busters, Demon Tweeks, M&P, etc......

If you're gonna replace the chain and sprockets yourself you may also need a chain splitter/rivetter tool..... Have a look on eBay for your bike....you'll see plenty of advertisers.....

DID X ring Gold chain and Renthal sprockets.

with above really. If you want it for looks, you could try the gold chain by DID, but it doesnt add anything performance wise. It also makes the bike look worse in some cases as I found out with my silver bandit. A gold chain with a black bike looks awesome, a gold chain with a silver bike just makes it look like its rusting up because there is no contrasting colours. Bare that in mind if you are thinking about getting the gold one.

Renthal are good sprockets, you can also get these in different colours if you want. Black sprockets with a gold chain does look good though.

To be honest though, unless you are racing or stunting, OEM will be just fine. Aftermarket stuff is really made for people who either need lightweight sprockets, stronger ones or different teeth sizes. If you are just using your bike the same way an average rider would, OEM spec will be fine. OEM can be a bit harder to track down though if you don't go through the dealers. If you do go through the dealers you MAY end up paying over the odds for them, depending on the dealer. Its worth ringing nd asking if they can get you some first though, just to compare prices
