530 Coversion
Guyz think its common knowledge i have Piggys old Thou now,looking at the bike its got a 630 chain with offset front sprocket to just clear the 180 back tyre ,would a 530 chain give me a bit more clearance on the tyre or would i need still to space out the front and rear sprockets ,found some info that says 530 is same width as 630?

You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter

My Z1R has a 530 kit on and my Z1B has a 630 kit on it .
The difference in the widths is point knob all of a mm .
0.2 to be exact .
Interesting, will check my two bikes tomorrow.

What is the difference between 530 and 630 chain?
We get this one a lot. The size convention for chain is set in a system of 1/8ths. The first number indicates the pitch of the chain (the distance between the centerline of the pins, link to link) a "5" indicates a 5/8ths of an inch pitch, where a "6" indicates a 6/8ths of an inch pitch (3/4"). The second two numbers indicate the width of the rollers (Between the inside edges of the INSIDE side plates of the chain) a "30" in this case, indicates a 3/8" roller width.

Generally, if you compare a 530 chain to an equivalent rated 630 chain, you will find that the heavier pins and rollers afforded by the longer pitch will result in a stronger chain construction, and higher tensile strength. In a fixed length of chain, the 630 chain will have fewer pitches, many times resulting in less "set" or "stretch" as the chain wears. The sprockets for a 630 pitch have a matching 3/4" pitch, making the teeth larger, deeper, and stronger at the base of the tooth.
Contrary to popular belief, 530 and 630 chains are the same overall width. A 530 or 630 O-Ring chain will measure approximately 1.070" across the rivets outside to outside. (The master link will be wider by approximately .065")

Looks like you are right Geoff!!!!
