I got new sprockets for my 98 f3. One down in the front and two up in the back. I need to get a new chain and dont know what length I should get. The one I have now is a 525 chain but my new sprockets are 530 sprockets. The chain is so old and bad I figure I should just get a new one. It may be a stupid question but I'm a newbie to making any kind of mods. What length should I buy?

 

should be 110 link but why in the world would you go up to a 530? A 530 is usually only used on 1000cc bikes. you sure its not a 520??

 

Yeah the packaging says its a 530 sprocket set. I got it for a really good price and I could use a new chain anyways so thats why I was going to do it. Do you think I should jsut sell the sprockets and buy 525 sprockets that will fit the stock chain?

 

well i would guess it would be fine with a 530 chain but like i said it is not needed. If you got that good of deal then run it but price chains first. If it were me id stick with the stock 525 or do a 520 conversion. you can usually find 520 conversion "KITs" for pretty cheap

 

thanks!
