my new chain and sprockets
my new chain had tight and lose spots - VERY ANNOYING! When I let go of my throttle, my engine breaking felt shaky, like in cars when you do not clutch it good
went to Sportbike Dynamics to get it installed. Learned alot in the process, I think the most hardest part is to take out the links in the chain and then sealing the chain back together.
Once I rode it OMG! It felt so smoooooooth and increased my speed/acceleration greatly. Kept everything stock 16/46.
AFAM sprockets
EK x-ring chain

RE: my new chain and sprockets
Very nice!! I just did my chain and sprockets last saturday for the same reason... my old chain was starting to kink up and was making alot of noise, even with plenty of lube on it (taking off from a stop it would make all those random "pops"... very annoying!!). I did a 520 conversion with Vortex front and rear sprockets (stock 16/46) and an RK XW-ring gold chain. I love it... soooo smooth and quiet now, it's great!

RE: my new chain and sprockets
niceeee
ur probably talking about the reflection of the flash on the stock lube the chain has
the loose and tightness I was talking about was from the old chain - which is y i changed it

No the chain... didn't you buy the chain and sprockets new? Why was the chain already kinking up? That makes no sense. You would think that a new chain would function as such. Maybe my reading comprehension issue is kicking in <searching for meds>.
