DID chain is my recommdation, here's a good place as any to start looking https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcy...nt_cat/894 530VX either Oring or Xring latter is better you can have gold or plain, shop about you my get it cheaper. Whether others have in in stock that's another matter and JT sprockets http://www.jtsprockets.com/ go for silent, you can get these from sportsbikeshop, some places do both as a kit. Make sure you buy the chain from a good well established seller/dealer, they're fakes out there. Anything less than £75 ish for a chain and it's likely not to be genuine, you can go for endless OE which will be cheaper, but you need to remove the swingarm.
Take a look at this thread for chain care info http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=26099.0
