Chain conversion

[Warner24]

Has anyone done a conversion to a RK GB525GXW or GB520GXW chain and sprocket size? Im looking to change out sprockets and a X-ring chain for my 2008 FZ1. Just wondering if these chains will be suitable for the power/torque of the engine.

The general consensus is to stick with 530 chain for road use and 520 for track only.

520 conversion

i had a 520 conversion kit and went back to 530. 520 will handle the power with no problems. 530 is a lot smoother operating and it last longer.

Been running 520 for awhile with no problems...tensile strength of these newer chains is plenty enough...
