I'm looking for some helpful advice from anyone who understands motorcycle chains.  I'm looking to replace the sprockets and chain on my '79 DOHC Limited Edition due to their condition.  The sprockets are a 15T and 41T.  Should I go smaller on the rear sprocket? I'm not sure of the chain size. The front sprocket is stamped "330-15".  I hear o-ring chains require less maintenance. What size chain do I need?  Some are converting to smaller chains. What type of chain connection is needed (endless, bratted pin, snap ring).   I drove the bike up and down the street a few times before starting my restoration. It seemed to have a good ratio.  So, I could stay with the same chain size and 15/41 sprocket sizes, but wanted other opinions.
