Lets see if I can take this one question at a time.
A 630 chain is a lot heavier/stronger then a 530. the C model has a 630 stock.
yes they do take ATF in the forks. dexron/mercon. The forks do need to be taken apart to change the seals, but it is not hard. You do not even need to remove the tubes from the triple trees if, you can get the front high enough to remove the sliders. I have described the procedure here on several posts. I am doing a set tomorrow, for a friend. Maybe I will take pictures, and make a post of it.
Tires? What ever, you like, and can afford. Parts are readily available, for these bikes. We have several parts suppliers listed here. To make it ride better? Progressively wound springs, for the front, and shocks with progressively wound springs, for the rear.  I also recommend Iridium plugs.
The difference in gearing is in the chain, and sprockets. Not the transmission. You could just swap a sprocket to change gearing.
