Stock, they were 630. 1 of them if different could have been downsized to 530.

Good place to find chain and sprockets is www.z1enterprises.com . There is even information on the different chains, sizes, how to get the right sprocket size, etc. If you have any questions, Jeff is more then willing to help you find the right ones for your needs.
