RE: Another sprocket question
Depends on what your riding style is. If you like stunting, quick take offs and street riding, the 525 will last longer and you will not see any benefits from the 520.
If you like speeds in the 120+ and ... well, that's about all the 520 is good for. That and shorten life.
Simple and cheap upgrade.... so the -1 or -2 in the front and you will be happy. Now, if you like stunting or wheelies.... just do the -1 front and +3 or 4 in the rear. -2 in the front will help keep the front end down by making the wheel base a little longer.

I went to the 15 got at HONDA dealer for $27.00. WOW what a differance it is like a differant bike. Wheelies really fast and easy in 1st dont snap the gas might go over on your A**. I found out it will either break the rear lose or the front end comes up in 1st. It will come up in 2nd to. Not really into wheelies on motorcycle to much to lose if something goes wrong.$$$ So have fun but (BE SAFE).

RE: Another sprocket question
-1 will wear the chain faster than +3 in the rear. -2 will wear the chain super fast.
as far as the 520...get a really good chain, like the DID and you will be ok with wear.
i gots the 520 in my garage...waiting for the current set up of -1 to croak on me but DID is so bomb, the chain just won't quit mang!
once it does though...it's all about the +3 and 520 baby!
