- 1 + 3 sprocket
I have just done a 520 conversion and a - 1 and + 2 sprocket change or so i thought. i ordered a driven conversion kit 15t and 48t with chain.
The original rear is 45t ( must be a uk thing) so i have gone up 3 on the rear.
My question is this. i feel a lot of resistance from the bike when off the throttle.
Like something is pulling me back.
Is that normal with this sprocket combination??

by the end of the week i'll give you my input, i have a 15t and a 48t en route from 16t/46t stock.
you are saying if feels like you have more engine brake? because this is true and will happen.
you just went up about +6 in the rear from what you are used to, and if you don't mind, how is the acceleration? does the front wheel get light?

just curious why you would say that. yes it is rarer to find those sprockets in 525 so one might make a mistake and mix match, but are you saying the heavier chain is an issue?
i've ordered 525 front and rear because i plan on using my existing 525 chain.

I was just mentioning that because if he has a 520 chain and 525 sprockets then the chain wont seat properly in the sprockets.

so i went -1 +2 (15,48) and i can't say that i feel much of a difference on engine braking at mid-low rpms if i chop it at high rpms im using the brakes too.
but i have noticed 1st gear will now power wheelie, and i dont think second gear will which is super awesome, it feels at the threshold, just have to stay out of trouble testing.
