Hello everyone, this is my first post, however I am proud to be part of the Kat community!
I just bought a 2001 Suzuki Katana, and there is some work to be done on it.
I knew some links on the chain were seized so...
I pulled off the chain, it says 530HDO on every link. I cleaned it thoroughly to realize several of the rollers are completely missing and the rest are cracked or intact still. The chain definitely needs to be replaced.
I began looking to buy a new chain for it only to realize the stock size is supposedly a 520 ?? I checked the rear sprocket and the front for wear and they are both acceptable as they were supposedly replaced last year from the previous owner, who also stated the chain was replaced, but is now wrecked.
The rear sprocket is made by Vortex it appears and says 528-47.
Any idea what size of chain I need and what is going on with the 530 chain and all?
