My latest H2 purchase has what look to be thin 520 almost new sprockets front and rear. Has anyone had luck with this smaller chain? It came with no chain and I don't know if I should buy just a 520 chain or a whole 530 set. Its Strange since it is also VERY ported and sporting 36mm Mikunis. :crazy:

Most all modern 180 hp bikes run the 520's. They are a higher grade of chain.

I'm thinking of changing to 520. Any recommended sources for sprockets?

We run 520s on our dragbike, don't think you'll stress them much more than we do on a street bike.

Thanks for the info guys - I'm thinking of running LSR up at Loring but will need to gear up (I run -1 on the c/shaft sprocket on the street.) The current set is about 10 years old so time to change anyway...
