Okay, The owner before me told me that he put a bigger sprocket on the rear, so i was guessing he went up a few teeth, but, i took a picture of the sprocket.... and look....

now, i'm pretty sure the stock chain is 530? right? and if i'm reading that right, the sprocket is a 44 tooth (up 1) AFAM brand, right? so if it's a 44t, would that me he had to go down a tooth in the front also? because of the 520, thanks!

stock is 530, the only way to know for sure what he did up front is to take a look...

it's two screws.

yeah, 2 8mm's right? bad thing - all my tools are at the shop, so i can't do jack..

yup

No, he didn't have to change the front. that 520 is the size of the chain not the length.

He did a conversion from the 530 chain to the 520 chain. The 520 is a 'lighter' chain (Not necissarily 'weaker') The reason for doing this is because a lighter chain produces less gyroscopic affect and results in better handling, i.e.., quicker turn in, etc. and less over all weight. However, a 520 chain and sprockets will wear out a little quicker. The chain in the picture is a quality chain, but you should check it for excess wear. If you can pull the chain away from the back of the rear sprocket, it's probably time for a change. Replace your sprockets and chain as a set.
:D

if you put some chain lube on it every now & then it will last longer
I do it every 250-300miles

man i dont know about you guys, ive run my stock honda chain for almost 10k, never lube it, its dirty and ugly, and its fine, occasionally i run the rear on a stand for a half hour and pour kerosene on it, cause i found a 5 gallon drum of the shit, but 2 winters, tons of rain, snow, no lube, and all i do is top redline shit, and its fine, no kinks, nothing, people baby their chains, i dont see the need, if it fucks, buy a new one, really all the lube and time would equal well over 100$

i can understand the necessity on better shit though

No, he didn't have to change the front. that 520 is the size of the chain not the length.

if you change to 520 you have to change both sprockets...who knows what he replaced the front with?

okay, i just got done taking the front cover off, i've got a 15 on the front, so it's -1 +1 that makes sense,... considering it'll 3rd wheelie like mad ;) my concern now is, how do i fix my speedo? i know it's way off now.... Any ideas?

speedo healer or yellow box are the two options...
