Default Chain Sizing...

Hey, how is everybody? Im doing alright... just doin some more shopping for my bike


The previous owner of my 2003 CBR 600 RR decided to change gearing (1 down front, 2 up rear). At first I didnt like it... but I'm getting used to it, and actually liking some of the advantages. But.... I need a new chain! [:'(]



any suggestions on a chain? What size "should" I need.... is there anyway I can tell if the sprocket change also changed my chain size? (520-530 :S) how do I tell what I need?



Thanks for any and all help,

Chris

OK... now that Ive got the sizing down...

What would you suggest for a 520 chain. Im going "bang for the buck" here. I dont want to spend bookooo money on a chain, but I also know I need to spend some.... chain snaps are dangerous :S


thanks for any help,


Chris
