Stock is 520-94. That will fit your set up. The chain size is 520 and it needs to have 94 links. Make sure you buy a good quality O-ring chain like D.I.D.

Unless your sprockets are in like-new condition, replace them with the chain. Generally, chains and sprockets should be replaced as a set.

I've used everything from top of the line (DID ERV3) to the budget conscience Primary Drive stuff on a variety of different machines. If I just wanted a basic chain that's gonna last a while, Primary Drive is hard to beat. Get an O or X-ring.

They're very close to being the same thing--especially if your not looking at high-end chains. In theory an X ring is better because each ring has two small sealing points instead of one big one. That gives better sealing with less friction.

X-ring but there's nothing wrong with a regular O-ring.
