no, you need a f1 sproket kit.
i would recomend getting a steel rear sprocket, that way it doesn't wear out sooner than your chain.

i have the vortex kit with a 520 chain conversion oring chain and i love it. the first set i had was +3 in the rear with a 110 chain which is stock length and it was too short it barely fit and i smoked the sprocket so i bought a new +1 and used the same chain and i love it. pretty cheap too!!!

You can get a +1 steel rear sprocket and stay with a 530 chain. Given the low power of these bikes the benefits of going with a 520 chain and aluminum sprockets probably isn't nearly as noticable as chains that last 10-15k miles.
