If you are putting on new chain and sprockets then for sure go with 530.
In figuring out what you need divide everything by 5 and multiply by 6.
Count the teeth on your sprockets or look for the tooth # . Say your 630 set up is 13T front and 33 T rear then dividing by 5 and multiplying by 6 and rounding you will need a 530 front sprocket with 16 teeth and a rear with 40T.
You can count current chain links and do the same same (assuming you have stock swingarm etc) . Make sure you buy good quality chain like DID RK or EK and good sprockets like JT brand. I did this a couple of years ago. Got and EK chain and think I only had to adjust it once
Good luck

stock is 13/32. 16 in the front and 39 rear will be the same ratio as stock.
