The 520 is NOT a lighter material. The numbers (520/525/530) indicate the WIDTH of the chain. The smaller the chain, the weaker it is. Check out any mfg. website. The bigger the chain, the higher the tensil strength. You will NEVER notice the change from 525 to 520, untill you have to replace the chain again, sooner than you think. If you want more torque when you take off you need to change the gearing of the sprockets, -1/+2. Thats the cheapest thing you can do. If you decide to upgrade the exhaust it'd be a good idea to invest in a power commander, so you can remap the FI. And FYI "Repsol" is just a paint scheme, you can get a Repsol kit for your bike if you want, it wont make you go any faster but it'll look just like your buddy's.lol
I'm already looking at the repsol fairings, but I don't want to look like a "poser" lol... I know in the BMW world if you rebadge your car with the //M you get hassled pretty well, and it never stops
(I never got hassled, I had the real //M car)

Ryan's you should probably get more comfortable with the bike before you get all jumpy on us here, and a little fyi-a slip on is mostly for a better sound---the added horsepower is barely noticible.

Thanks, even though I detect a hint of sarcasm. I should mention that owning that car is something I'm very proud of. I worked my @ss off for it, and I take excellent care of it. The same goes for all of my "toys", I'm not some immature kid that beats on the things given to me: I paid my way through all of this, and I have a ton of respect for the nature of speedy things.
BTW, Beemer is a BMW motorcylce, Bimmer is a BMW car.

BS. Take it from someone who makes their living in the automotive world. a beemer is a beemer. bike or car. at least in america. bimmer might be what the brits call them.

nobody here gives a damn about M badges
the difference is that bmw M cars have better suspenions and motor upgrades, the repsol is a sticker kit
put it on your bike if you want, nobody will know the difference
