Chain Confusion ?

Things are moving forward with my 77' KZ1000A. Rebuild the Rear Brake Calipers yesterday. Full of old dried up brake fluid. But cleaned well, everything seems to be working good now. Even the Rear Master Cylinders seems to be not leaking at all since I took it apart and cleaned again.

Upon examining my 630 Drive Chain, the wheel is shoved al the way forward in the swing arm and chain has about 1/2" free play which tells me either the chain is too short or sprockets have been changed.

So I counted the Sprocket teeth.
Rear: 33-T
Front: 14-T ?

Drive chain is 90 Links

So something has been changed from prior owner? Who knows, bikes been out of commission 25 years. Obviously I need a longer chain, at least where the axle is moved back so that I can at least read the adjustment marks on the swing arm.

I want to go with a 530 chain and sprockets and keep the same drive ratio as stock.

WHat do you guys recommend ???

i am myself a proponent of 520 chains but you can sure gain some info from reading this lil article on z1enterprise.
