I went +1 front, +1 rear on both kits, only slightly increased the gearing to make speedo closer to actual speed on GPS.
So far, I've put over 6k miles on my SV650 and 4k miles on my F4i.
No issues whatsoever, cost of each kit was approx. 1/2 of the name brand kits.
I did a cheap ebay 525 chain the first time I replaced the chain on my bike. It lasted about 100 miles before a link pin sheared and the chain flew off at about 80mph in the middle of nowhere AZ desert at 11pm. The clip masterlink was still attached. Worst idea I or anyone else will ever have for their bike is to use cheap chinese ebay sh**.
