What size chain

[jeffwest5599]

I have tried the search and did not get the answer I was looking for and I am having trouble opening my manual (adobe is doing something funky). I have a simple question. I need to get a new chain for my stock 1995 Katana 600. What size is the chain. I see all sizes of chains on ebay that say they fit this year. Is it a 530 X 118, 530 X 120 or what. Please let me know. Thanks.

Stock is 530, with 118 links.You should always replace sprockets and chain at the same time to gaurantee uniform wear.

Thanks. I was pretty sure it was a 530 by 118 but wanted to make sure.

I have a post 600 with a stock setup of 15/47. If I were to go to 15/50 how do I find out how many more links that would add?

thought with 15/50 you should still probably be okay with 118 links

That's what I use but I wasn't sure if it updated the links required.

15 - 50 will give you a 3.33 to 1 ratio. You can run 14 - 48 and get a 3.42 ratio and get a better acceleration and still have an ok top end.
