i was looking to get a new chain and sprockets any recommendations

 

I went with the 525 stock sproket and chain kit. I know it is not to fancy but it was easy to put on and I am happy with it. Hope that helps.

 

-1/+1 will make it a diff bike on acceleration. A 520 will just save weight and reduce the time it takes to wear it out. My next set will 525 and a rear steel sprocket, still the -1/+1 tho.

 

yeah i was thinking i would go with the 520 or 525 i just didnt know if the 520 would make the front end stand up to easy

 

It weighs less as a result of being 1/4'' in width instead of 25/80'' in width and therefore increases your power a bit (lower rotational mass on engine) = more wheelie prone.

Downside is lower chain lifespan.

 

When you refer to lower chain life how many miles are we talking? This is daily driving and weekend fun whether it be twisties and wheelies so on an so forth.

 

How much more does a 525 weigh over a 520? Are we talking a pound or so? I have a hard time believing that .062" will make that bit of difference? I'm sure you guys know better than me though!!

Anyways, on the recommendation I would go with sidewinder sprockets. I've ran them on just about everything I own and they live A LOT longer than Renthal, RK, Sunstar, etc.. I actually was going to run a 530 pitch chain but by the sounds of it you guys wouldn't recommend that. They are a little more expensive but a better product in my eyes and I've ran just about all of them!! Of course they have kits so the prices below only reflect individual products

Front Sprocket
carbon: 49.99
Tool Steel: 59.99
Titanium: 69.99

Rear Sprocket
Tool Steel: 129.99
Tri Metal: Not sure

Chains:
530 pitch
7000lbs 149
10000lbs 169
12000lbs 189
16000lbs 209

 

Holy shat dude, you wouldn't pay that much for anyone of those things, even sold seperately would you? That's crazy talk. I bout the 520 Gold RK kit w/vortex sprockets, $135 shipped.

 

This is very true but you do get what you pay for!! I guarantee that these sprockets and chains will last AT LEAST 3 times longer than that combination you have there!!!!!! They aren't cheap but good parts never are!!!! Just some literature if you guys are interested. Never hurts to check things out!!

I don't know of to many companies that offer Lifetime guarantees on sprockets with free replacements..
