What size chain?

What size chain does the 1998 take. My sprockets are fine, but my chain has cancer. Everything is original on my bike, just need a replacement. Thanks

 

Hey Zona; The stock chain size is 530. eddie

 

And yes I agree the whole external drive system should be changed as a unit. eddie

 

I know the chain and sprocket should be changed together, but the sprockets are fine; the teeth are still the correct shape and thickness. I guess I washed my bike a few too many times and didn't blow the water off the chain = cancer.

 

Again, just wanted to know what size. The sprockets are fine - the external drive is not worn out, the chain just got cancer(rust).

Is it 530, 108 links??

 

Sorry to revive this old thread, but I crashed my 98 three days after I had a new chain put on and now my 01 needs one. I may just get a chain and sprocket kit, but again the sprockets seem to be within spec.

I was wondering if any of you have tried these budget chains from fleebay?
