Sprockets
Has anyone used this combo. AFAM 520 conversion kit with D.I.D. ERC3 race chain. I'm thinking of staying stock on the front(16) and up 2 on the rear(48). I'm not sure if this is enough. I need more grunt on the low end but I don't want to loose too much on the high. What do ya think. Also what chain tool do I need to get?
Thank's, Jim

RE: Sprockets
What are you using the bike for?
I'm running -1,+2 on an F4 (very simular)... if you check out my photogallery there are some charts with different gearings.
If you do alot of highway miles, +2 is still quite a bit. If you are running on a track -1,+2 is pretty good as you will never top the bike out anyhow.

RE: Sprockets
then at least go -1 up front...or since you're doing 520 conversion, go with AFAM +3 rear. this will give you some great drive out of the corners, but as far as track is concerned...your gearing will be dependent on the track.
i would recommend some SS lines too...so you out-brake him into the turns and the +3 for the drive out. if you do other gearings, like -1/+2...you may end up spinning the rear or lifting the front coming out of the turn.
oh...and as far as the 675...well...it's gots the revs of the 4 and the torque of a twin...so the drive coming out of turns will always be good...so you might as well just out ride him!
