my 2003 F4I has 14k has stock 16t-front,46t-rear
badly needs new chain and sprockets
so im going with the 520 conv with 16t-front and 43t rear
are AFAM aluminium sprockets any good .
I'm a year round rider and mostly ride on the high-way

 

AFAMs are good. Why are you going +3 on the rear. Plan on doing wheelies? Your acceleration will suck on 495. Watch your 6.

 

Um Jay, he's goin -3 on the rear. But why the 520 kit? It's not as strong as a 525 kit, and the difference in weight between the two is minimal (comparing the same aftermarket brands, not compared to OEM). And the 525 will last longer (from what I've heard)

 

you might not want to do the 43 on the back i tried it and my f4i lost its ***** it was like driving a ford

 

Watch the 520 kit, i have a buddy with a gsxr600 who put a 520 kit on his bike. dont remember what brand chain but it was a name brand like RK or DID. The chain snapped in half and busted up his left side fairing, rear cowl and went right through the stator cover. i had a 520 on my bike and changed it right after his broke, it had been less than a year and the chain was very worn already. stick to a 525 it will last longer.

 

How can one tell if his sprockets are worn? Dominate. = Noob lol

 

Worn sprokets will have gulleys and sharp teeth. Rear usually wears faster than front.

My bad on the -3. Good catch.

 

why dont you go a +10/+10 and get the 545?

 

Never get it off the line (LOL)
