I only buy D.I.D. chains - their xvm gold is just the job for the Fj. Chain purchase is one of those areas where paying less could cost you dear.

Do not use anything less than a good chain.  I went through a summer trying to make one work that was rated well enough in strength, and have damaged cases from where it broke (and it didn't break just once, sadly).

The strongest thing money can buy is the EK ZZZ.  Shockingly pricy, but hugely easier to deal with the extra money now than a great big headache later, when you're stranded and have a puddle of oil and metal under the bike.
