I went with DID 530NZ chain it's a heavy duty one.
Sprockets from JT. Standard is 16 tooth front 40 rear but if you want a quicker acceleration try 15 tooth front 108 links

I've just done exactly the same as Barney, DID NZ and JT sprockets. Had to shop about to get good prices on the sprockets. Big variation in prices.

I've just checked what I fitted last year. I remember now that I couldnt get a 36 rear from JT, they are no longer made. I used 16 front and 40 Rear, 108 links. This changes the ratio only slightly from 2.4:1 to 2.5:1 . Standard for the A model is 15/36 with 106 links and that was on my bike before I changed them. Holds 5th gear much better now, but was fitted at the same time as a full engine rebuild so most of the improvement will be from that I would assume.

If you look on JT's website you will see that the 36 rear is no longer available. I tried all over to find one but couldn't get one. That was the reason I changed to 16/40 instead of the std (for my year) of 15/36.

Always good to know what model.
