Default 520 conversion kit

I just want to know has any one replaced thier f4i's sprockets and chain with a 520 conversion kit. Pretty much how many teeth did you go up or down in both sprockets. and what company should i buy. thanks.

Sprocket size depends on what type of riding you are doing. One down in front (15) is working well for me. Drops top end by a small amount but gives much better low end. Easier to do wheelies in second gear. Vortex makes really good sprockets and RK or DID both make good o-ring chains. RK has a good deal on a kit with both sprockets and chain, and can be found on E-Bay or your local shop. It is a good investment for the performance gain in my opinion.

You can only drop 1 in the front but can go up in the rear.

Im probably going to pick one up from e-bay, they said that they recomend two teeth up in the rear and one down in the front. Plus they are only$150 shipped for the chain/sprockets set. Anyone ever try this setup before?
