First unlock your caps.
Then go to Z1.

I am waiting for new chain and sprockets from Z1. They should be here tomorrow.
My bike is a '79 GS1000E with the original 630 chain and the sprockets were 15t front and 42t rear.
My new setup will be a 530 chain with 18t front and 50t rear. Chain goes from 96 links (old) to 116 links (new).
Hope this helps you.
