MT Wallet,
My chain and sprockets were worn so I figured I would do everything at once. The way I understand it is reducing the driveline weight is a good think for performance. I guess it is like putting on lighter wheels. Also save a couple lbs off the bike.
I got this from this site.. http://www.davidparis.org/daytona/520conv.html (not sure if 530 is the stock CBR chain or not).
I took it all out, and once the time came to do the task of the conversion, I first weighed each component of the 520 kit, and once I got the 530 stuff off, weighed that. A bit surprising numbers.
520
530
Chain
71.4 oz
78.5 oz
Rear Sprocket
10.4 oz
35.1 oz
Front Sprocket
6.8 oz
11 oz
Total
88.6 oz
124.6 oz
So, 36 oz total savings (2 1/4 pounds), or 29% over stock.

Thanks for the great information. That will be one mod I will do when I have the time/money

Anyone know if changing the sprockets effects how much gas mileage you get on the f2s? i am also debating on whether or notto change the stock gearing.

But I have been having problems with other things fuel related that may be adding to this, the fun factor and ease of driving in the city is well worth it in my opinion.
