Yup, cheap chain is worthless to me. We drive easily twenty miles out of town a lot all summer. I'd rather not have to wslk back if a cheap chain breaks.

Jerry, when you order the chain, if you order 530 Oring chain I don't think you have to specify anything more than that. Just make sure you get a good quality chain, meaning that you should choose a reputable manufacturer. There are several threads here on the site where people have discussed chain and diamond USA (not the chinese version) is a chain that seems to hold up really well.
Diamond USA
Tsubaki Omega
a few others I don't remember.
Tsubaki Omega had a tensile strength of 9,700+ pounds.
MfgSupply sells chain with the same 9,700+ but at half price. (NOT their heavy duty, which is only 6,000). A few members have used with favoring results. Its what I will buy next. It comes in ready-made lengths or lengths requested by buyer.
Snowmobile Parts, Go Kart Parts, Lawnmower Parts, ATV Parts, and more | MFG Supply. Its in their motorcycle section under drive chain.

Thank you again Mike and Rusty-Gunn for your valuable information, I was a little confused concerning which chain to purchase,motorcycle or ATV. You both cleared that up for me now and for future reference.
Thanks again and have a safe and muddy ride this weekend if you happen to get out for some outdoor fun
God Bless
Jerry
