Why is your chain shot?
DID make a great chain. Im still running the stocker on my bike. But I have a DID on my dirt bike. No problems so far.

The 530 denotes the size of the link. If you look at your chain there should be a link stamped with it's size. 530 is the stock chain size for my bike 06. I've noticed that most of the hondas I've looked at had the same size chain from the factory. Like CBRCRF said go with a DID. I've heard nothing but good things about them and that will most likely the next chain that goes on my bike when it needs replacing. You could also look into doing a 520 conversion. Lot a guys on the forum have done it without issues.
