Can I use a 118 chain on my 04 R1 with stock 17/45 sprockets?

Hi everyone, I just bought a 2004 R1. The stock chain length for this bike is 116, but the previous owner has a 118 (530) chain on there bc he was running a -2/+6 setup that I want to change back to the stock 17/45.

Do I definitely, 100% need to get a new chain to do this or can I just buy new stock sprockets? Thank you in advance.

the chain is actually almost brand new. He had the chain put on in March this year then stopped riding it because the rotor that surrounds the stator blew up. He lied and told me it just needed a battery but at least I know the chain hasn't been stretched out or beat on too much. Gonna drop the oil pan to clean it out now...
