spocket/chain
So I think it's time for a new chain and spocket. What is the difference between these 520 conversion kits I see and stock and which is better???? Thanks guys!

For the street the stock 525 or 530 is more than adequate, just get good sprockets so that they last fora long time. And like Joe said with good maintenance you can easily get between 10 and 20k miles from a chain/sprockets.

Rear sprocket is 40 from yamaha can't find the little front one. Whats that called?? I want to get a "cool" chain any suggestions on where to get 1?
|
i need one too.. can't believe mine is starting to show signs of rust! i put on a lot of miles riding in the rain.. i should've been more mindful.
|
Mine just looks really shitty and I want to replace them. There is nothing wrong with them other than they look like shit.

are they beyond cleaning? |
Yeah. Spocket has some surface rust on it.
|
My chain has a bit of rust on the inside from doing 300+ miles in the rain..
I'll buy the DID kit probably. -1 front, +2 rear. :ride: zoom |
My stock chain and sprockets (525/steel) lasted me 20k+ miles and still had plenty of life left... I just didnt see the need to risk pushing it more than that, though. I swapped it out with a 520/aluminum kit only because I wanted to have the same setup on the street and track bike.
I'd highly recommend sticking with the stock setup. You arent going to see too many 520/alum setups last 20k+ miles. Changing the gearing -1/+2 is another story and fine, for the most part. I've heard going -1 in the front may reduce longevity/increase wear, but havent seen any evidence of it... |
WHY IS THE CHAIN THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART OF DOING THIS??
