Can anyone advise what pitch the drive train is on a standard indian 350 bullet (late 90's model).

It looks like a 530 but as the existing chain isn't stamped i'm not completely sure?

Hi i would go for the heavy duty chain,i had the lightweight one on a 2016B5, the bottom of the range gets all the crap lightweight chain rubbish avon sm tyres from the 1960s both were gone by the 600klm service chain streached badly and tyres dammed dangerous in the wet never been a fan of square section rear tyres. Now run k81s and rk hd chain my 20cents worth.
