Chain type for 1998 VFR? 525? 530?

[dino71]

I tried the search and couldn't find anything, even the shop manual didn't help. I think its a 525 type/pitch chain but not sure what I bought the lat time I ordered my chain. If anyone can let me know that it would help me out a lot.

it is in the manual under rear wheel / suspention section in spec's
should be a 530 I think same as 6th gen but different # of links.
It is listed as a code just go to web site to get correct size using the code.
or go to sprocket center and type in your year it will give you the correct chain.

I check my shop manual again under the suspension chapter and nothing was there but I will take your word on the size being a 530, you would think something that important would be in more than one place in a shop manual but then again I have the Clymer manual so it may not be as good as the official Honda one. Thanks for your help.
