On the sprocketcenter website they have a long list of chains for the F700/800. The only difference I see is the price and the cubic of the motor.
Do I just have to assume that more expensive means longer life? Worth it?
Do you replace the bolts on the rear sprocket as well?

I have used DID X-ring chains for the last 10-12 years with good results. I always go with a riveted master link which requires the use of a chain breaker and riveting tool. Motion Pro makes a good one. SprocketCenter.com has reasonable prices on chain and sprocket sets for your bike and sells chain tools. If you are new at installing a chain, then look for some videos on it that are made by reputable companies. Motion Pro has some and I suspect other retailers do as well.

Does more money mean more miles? Don’t know for sure. I suspect it does to extent, but I generally go for middle of the pack.
Do not recall the service DVD calling for replacing the nuts/bolts. I have never done so.
