So now that U guys have fought it out, this is my conclusion: My bike uses as stock a 530 chain with 15/43 sprockets I need to replace the chain and since the sprockets already have like 30k miles on them it's probably a good idea to replace them as well, not to damage the new chain.
Apparently I can use 520,525 or 530 chain. Since I'm a bit tight on money the deciding factor will be the cheapest option with a decant o-ring chain and sprockets.

AFAM Sprockets 15TFront
AFAM Sprockets 43T Rear
As for a chain, DID, EK, RK are all good chains.

RE: Stock chain and sprocket sizes?
So I changed my chain and sprocket and my back sprocket was actualy a 40 with a 15 front which I replaced with the new 43 and 15 sprockets. This must have been the original chain from the factory cause it had no master link. I was looking and every where they specify 43 tooth for the back sprocket as stock 95-98 models.
So now I'm a bit confused?
The bike seems to have a bit more power now but I'll still have to see how goes the gas mileage
