520 chain conversion ??
#4
I've been running 520's on all of my bikes and never had an issue, just keep it clean keep it lubed. Yeah they aren't going to last 30000 miles, but I have gotten 10000 miles out of a 520 chain and sprocket kit. As far as not using on anything over a 600, sorry but chains are a lot better now a days and will withstand the abuse. I have a superbike built 06 GSXR 1000 and I am replacing the chain and sprockets next week, just because they have been on the bike for two years, not a whole lot of noticeable wear, that would make me want to worry about.
To answer the original question, just about any sprocket company make a 520 kit for the 900rr. I use Vortex, because they pay contingency.

I was doing the 520 conversion with a 98 900RR this weekend with a Renthal 404U-520 48 tooth count rear sprocket. The sprocket does not fit the cush drive at all. I was told to check the wheel since it maybe aftermarket but it's the stock CBR black spoke wheel. Renthal told me that the 404U sprocket should fit 92-99 CBR models. Any suggestions on how to find out why it don't fit the cush?
