520 chain, should i change sprockets as well?

My friend bought a 520 x ring chain, does he need to change his sprockets as well even though it isn't worn, he loves to wheelie and last chain was stretched.

The FZ1 comes stock with a 530 chain so he would need to change the sprockets

Yep! will now need 520 sprockets to suit the 520 chain

What bike did your friend buy the 520 x-ring chain for?

I always change the chain and sprockets together, They wear in as a set. Even if you don't see noticeable wear, It is there. At best you will see decreased life of the chain.

I would suggest that he replace the sprockets at the same time.
