alright i am shopping for a 520 kit. -1 in the front and +2 in the rear and i would prefer vortex sprockets and then the chain.
im trying to find the best price out there. i found one kit on ebay for $185 + $17 s/h. i called a local shop and they are wanting $264.27 for it. i saw another guy posted he payed $299 for the kit and someone said he paid WAY over price. so i was wondering if anyone has any good links with good pricing or give me some idea as to what price i should be hunting for. just trying to find the best deal possible. any help is appreciated
thanks in advance

Dont bother getting a 520 kit just get the sprockets you want in the stock thickness. If you arent hard core racing that you are wasting your money.

 

Doesn't he need a new chain because the fact he is going -1 up front +2 in the rear?

 

you can get a front and rear sprocket for about $80, with theat gearing u can use the stock chain

 

$149.99 for the kit @ Sumofallpart.Net - Good people there and they will answer ALL your ?'s.
Yeah you could leave the stock chain but its going to ruin the new sprockets you invested into plus you'll have everything apart already. Might as well upgrade the whole system and not worry about it for 10K+ miles.I would get the whole kit. Agreed the DIDis a great chainwhich Irun on my other bike and never kinks, stretchs and always looks clean (for some reason). But also heard good things about RK-XSO.

 

i am upgrading the whole thing sprockets and chain because my chain is garbage now, it stretched out and is unsafe so my bike is in pieces currently. i am getting a 520 kit and doing body work and paint on the whole bike. already half way done with the body work and what not. i want to get the new sprockets and chain before the plastics are ready to go back on that way i can hop on and ride right away. thanks for the link streetdemon i will definetely check them out.

forget the 520, get a stock 525. call moto-heaven, www.moto-heaven.com You'll talk to a dude, I think his names Phil. I forgot. I ordered a stock front and +10 rear and a brand new chain for 200 shipped to my door. He can get you any size you want.

I'd stick with the stock chain size. Those 520's just look too weak for me.

The only thing I don't like about the stuff I got (thrust company), is the rears are aluminum. If you don't need a big sprocket for stunting I would just stick with a stock setup.

And if you're dead set on the vortex 520 I think ebay has it for like 150-200

 

You can use the stock chain with those sprockets. I have the same ones on my bike and stock fits just fine. You can get a new chain but dont bother making it a 520, just use the 525.
