97 exex Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Got an 03 gsxr1000 and everytime I look to buy sprockets and chain, all there is listed is a 520 kit. Was going to buy oem 17/42 530- 110 link chain, but not sure the pros and cons of the 520 conversion. Would like to order chain and sprockets this weekend, but still unsure of what to get. Any input would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Pros- Lighter, less rotating and unsprung mass. Cons- Much quicker wear, especially considering most if not all of those 520 kits come with an aluminum rear sprocket. Leave the 520 kits for track bikes, they're impractical on a street bike.
