Gearing/New chain question

First where can I order a new o-ring chain cheap? I'll prpbablly be getting rid of my bike at the end of this season so I dont want to invest too much money into it... And all indications I've seen the best thing to do is replace the sprockets as well right? But if I'm looking to save money can't I skimp and not get the new sprockets? what are the pros and cons?

part 2...

I'm not really trying to stunt the FZR (thinking about a quad) so I have a question about trying to get more out of the old engine by making the gearing taller for top end... But what will that do for/to the bottom side in traffic and at slow speeds?

Depending on the condition of the sprokets, you should be able to get away with just changing the chain.

I find parts411.com has pretty good prices.
