I'm in the market for a new set up. Not quite sure if I am staying with a 530 but Im curious to see what everyone else has been doing. As for a brand, Im not too particular. I just want something that is reliable and willhold upas good as the stock set up has. I noticed that the 530 D.I.D. Gold chain was around $200 which is quite a price difference from whatI remember paying for theGold chain on the MX bike. Anyways, I'd like some opinions/suggestions before I buy, thanks!

 

RK / Vortex or AFAM.

 

just got vortex front and rear. went in as smooth as my hands would allow and worked well so far. im not noticing any unreasonable stretch in the chain as of yet, and ive ridden over a thousand miles since. DID Pro 225 cost me ~$150, sprockets were like $116

i stayed with stock gearing/chain size because i bought the 525 before i researched (i had to move and the gift card was local i think)

when i do it again ill do -1/+2 at 520? maybe?..

depends on what you want.

 

I went with Driven this time around, i had bad luck with a few vortex rear sprockets before " i am very abusive to my bike". I paid the extra 80 bucks for the "racing" tensile strength chain. So far very pleased with it, i would reccomend them.

 

I went with the -1/+2 520 myself....works good for me

 

Buy this new setup:


Now you can go from whoolie stunna to land speed record setter with the flick of your handy gear selector switch, which also comes with this package. Bar end tassles are optional of course, but may increase coolness/horsepower, so it could be worth the extra $$...I heard this thing is supposed to be pretty durable, I mean come on, look at the thickness of those meaty sprockets!

Damn Icefox, that is a great idea! I dont know if the added weight would be worth it though! Plus that setup is too chiny forme!I found a set of ABS plastic sprockets, I think I will try those!... Do you always have to be a smart *** to me!?
I spaced it out but, when I put the -1 front sprocket on I forgot that the chain adjuster deal needed to be farther back then with the stock sprocket. With that in mind, I think my current setup it good fora few thousand miles still.
