"For the win." FTW. Meaning you clarified the rest of the story. I wasn't aware that they changed from model year to model year - apparently neither did the other guy.

I wasn't sure they did either. I also think that I was the one that said for him to go with the 525, and was now afraid that I made a mistake. Time to do some research and make sure I wasn't crazy. I knew I had installed a 525. Oh well, everything is good. I'll have to remember that FTW. I was actually thinking it was a misstype of WTF.

Regards...

So now that U guys have fought it out, this is my conclusion: My bike uses as stock a 530 chain with 15/43 sprockets I need to replace the chain and since the sprockets already have like 30k miles on them it's probably a good idea to replace them as well, not to damage the new chain.
Apparently I can use 520,525 or 530 chain. Since I'm a bit tight on money the deciding factor will be the cheapest option with a decant o-ring chain and sprockets.

Yes, you're correct. If they've got 30k miles on them I'd replace them as well. If you go with aluminum sprockets, then they're not going to last near that long. That ebay auction is for an unknown brand and you don't know what you're getting.

As for a chain, DID, EK, RK are all good chains.

So I changed my chain and sprocket and my back sprocket was actualy a 40 with a 15 front which I replaced with the new 43 and 15 sprockets. This must have been the original chain from the factory cause it had no master link. I was looking and every where they specify 43 tooth for the back sprocket as stock 95-98 models.
So now I'm a bit confused?
The bike seems to have a bit more power now but I'll still have to see how goes the gas mileage
