Decided that my bike needs a new chain & sprockets, which is the best chain to get? X-ring or O-ring? Also, is there any difference in sprockets?

Cheers for any help :)

Oh, it's a Kawk ZX6R 2004 if that makes any difference.

I would second X-ring, DID might be worth a look.

Also you could go OE, but that will prob be the most expensive.

given the choice between tsubaki and did id go for tsubaki everytime they realy are quality and not forgeting that tsubaki is the worlds largest chain manufacturer producing products for the car industry etc.

I thought they used DID from new?

I reckon it doesnt matter much as long as you fit a good quality item and have it rivetted up by someone who knows what they are doing.What does make a big difference is how well you maintain it afterwards.
