I seen this kit on ebay for around $180 looks pretty good and am thinking about getting it but want to make sure its a good deal, its a 520 conversion with a X-Ring RK chain and thinking about going -1 +2 anyone have any good things to say about driven?

 

I have an RK chain and Vortex sprocket. -1 in the front. Great set up. Throws your speedometer off when you change out your gears. You will need a speedohealer.

 

Yeah im actually trying to find one but having no luck. Any difference then going -1 and not going +2? I know it takes off from top speed but who goes that fast anyways..

 

$180 isa typical price at the discount internet stores. For a street rider I think -1 front and stock rear is agreat setup, you will definately notice an improvement in acceleration and when riding on the freeway your bike is not revving like crazy.

I'm running 520 -1/+2 right now and 70 mph is 7k rpm in 6th gearwith a speedohealer, so it should be fairly accurate. On the track I can hit 150mphat the rev limiter.I'll be switching to a +1 rear this spring because it suits the track I ride at better.

 

That was my thinking also. The -1 in the front gives you tremendous amount of low end torque. The top end doesn't suffer that much, the top end that I had before was 165 but I think that was a bit off, because the faster you go, the more variance there is to the speedometer. I put in a speedohealer and calibrated it, so I know that I was speeding and hit 155 and couldn't go any faster. Yah I preach not to speed and I did it. We all do, I just don't tell too many people that I do.

 

you still have stock pitch or did you convert to 520?

straight out of parts unlimited catolog you should be able to get this kit for $15 -$20 less than msrp at one of your local shops. dealer cost $109 and some change and if you want a bigger rear look at parts unlimited brand(steel) or jt or sunstar all are steel sprockets for about $20 ea

 

I went to the 520 conversion. If I was going to spend money on a new chain and sprockets, might as well do the 520 too. I have seen more difference with the -1 compared to a 520. But it is worth the money to do.

 

I have a Driven kit with the rk chain n its doing great. -1/+2

 

Seems like a good price for me. I went with -1 in the front. If you did -1 and +2 in the rear, your rpms would be too high personally and I want to keep that gas mileage and not lose so much top end. Plus your chain will wear out faster when you do the -1+2 conversion.
