Default Chain & sprocket help

I've had my 954 for about 5 months now and my chain is starting to rattle...I've been trying to search for a new chain and sprockest that's good but am coming across a whole bunch of names I don't know....can someone please point me in a direction of a good chain and sprockets thank you

Also is the 520 setup worth it for our bikes?....sorry for the noob questions I'm new to all this

I like either DID or RK chains, usually in the x ring series. The x rings tend to seal the links better, thus a longer lasting chain. The regular o ring chains are what OEM is, and the work fine too. If your replacing sprockets, get steel. Aluminum ones don't hold up as well

The 520 is lighter than the 530, but is a smaller chain. It will stretch more and wear out sooner, but he weight savings will be more efficient in getting power to the rear wheel. Your call there.

4,000 at 60mph = stock gearing and tire size. Every 1,000 rpm's increase in 6th gear = 15mph more, I've found this to be pretty accurate using my gps.
