Arrow Need Parts!

i have a 93/94 (not shure) suzuki katana and it has the same metzeler tires and stock chain form off the assembly line. i need both new tires and chain.

1. should i buy a chain and sprocket kit, or just a chain, the person who had the bike before me just rode the bike, no hard wear and tear wheeling on the chain, but the chain is so stretched, you can go arround the front sprocket 2wice. im not too shure on how to check sprocket life any tips would help.

2. i have 110/80-17 front
150/70-17 rear
I want a sporty feel but without having to buy diffrent rim sizes. the only sporty tire i can find for my bike is the Dunlop D205. is this a sporty feeling tire, will i notice a traction increase from the stock metezelers? if not could anyone recommend and tires/chains/sprockets
