RE: OEM Sprockets
15/43 Is stock on my 92. (91-94 actually) The 45 would be the +2 that a lot of people do for acceleration. IMHO, unless you are racing from light to light you do not need it.
530 o-ring chain is OE. They are pretty hefty chains and there are lots of chains out there. When I got my bike last summer I replaced the chain and sprockets. Bought a $99 eBay special and have put nearly 10,000 miles on the bike since then. The chain they sent me was a KMC chain with a clip link and I haven't had a problem. I know some people say they are dangerous. if they were that dangerous then they wouldn't be sold IMHO. Those clips clip in tight and if installed properly they should never come loose.

RE: OEM Sprockets
You can take the chain off without a tool. All you need is a dremel. You will need some kind of chain press to install the new chain. The 520 setup will be MUCH cheaper since there is less material you're getting. its also a LOT lighter. Even if you keep the same gearing ratio, you'll feel a SLIGHT bump in acceleration by just using a 520 setup. The 520 setup is pretty reliable especially on the F2/F3. It doesnt make enough power to break a 520 chain.
