520 Conversion

ok i just ordered the conversion kit for my bike, it has the following
RED chainXSO, 15 front, 48 rear. Does anyone have the sprokets on ther bikes, if so, what kind of gerar ratio am i going to have or what RPM's will i have to compinsate for. I think and i am prob wrong but by -1 in the front will lower the RPM but +2 in the rear will raise it, i am looking to get a little more on the bottem and and increase the mid, can anyone help

going down 1 in the front will have the same effect as going up about 3 in the back. Both of these will increase the RPM's and torque and lower the top speed

correct both will lower the gearing and thus raise the RPM's

just like a bicycle -- bigger sprocket in front slows the legs and raises speed all things being equal

when i get it i will post pic's of what i get and the whole install process i cant wait

Thanks for the info guys; now you have me thinking. I'm fine with the stock sprockets but I think a red chain on my red bike would look way cool. Does anyone make a stock replacement chain in red?

Krylon does....
































Krylon is a spray paint company...

Seriously though:
eBay Motors: RED 530 MVXZ 120 Link Chain SUZUKI HONDA YAMAHA KAWI (item 330198618647 end time Dec-27-07 15:30:11 PST)

eBay Motors: EK 530 X-Ring RED or BLUE Chain R1 GSXR 929 954 (item 190176367567 end time Dec-20-07 18:47:36 PST)

thats why i went with the conversion kit. The chain by itself is $150 for another $25-35 you can get everything.

they had the kits that also had the red rear sprocket on there too but i'm too lazy to find it again. I think Renthal was the one who made it.

SUM OF ALL PARTS STORE on ebay type in fz6, and i just went there and its the 520 conversion kit they give great info.

I'm looking forward to seeing the red chain. Will your sprockets be black?

In theory...you really think he'll be bouncing off the rev limiter in 6th? Interesting...

nope... but technically that is what will happen.

I also look forward to seeing the pics, I might go with a blue setup if it looks good.

the rear sprocket will be black the chain red. I have the Pro-Bolt sprocket nuts in red, so i think the black would look good with the red nuts and red chain. I also will be ordering the chain adjuster in red after the new year starts.

i am not sure if you should be bragging about your red nuts, however good they do look, this is just not the place

you know, i wanted to see how long that would sit there before someone said something :Lurking:

:Flash:just under 2 hrs. And for the record "THEY" are not red but a pleasent pink thank you.:Flash:

!!!!!This is incorrect and has been updated below!!!(Isnt the stock gearing 15t front 48t rear.

I just spent 30 minutes finding a gearing calculator punching in the stock numbers, and then coming to your thread to find what you were swapping to.

Your putting a 15t front and 48t rear. I may be wrong but I believe that is stock so you will have no change. )

Nope that is wrong. My bike has a stock 46 tooth rear.

Front has a 16t

LOL, i seen your first response and my heart stopppppped and jaw droppppped, i thought i screwed up, but then i thought iwas keeping the stock 48 and just changing the color, now i realized that the stock is a 46, so, gulp i screwed up+2. OK, i was'nt planning on going +2 in the rear just wanted the black, so now i have to think about the rear sprocket. LOL, i will let u all know.:Im With Stupid::Im With Stupid::Lurking:

Oh well that totally sucks. It was only right on my computer, and when I shut it, it lost all the info instead of saving.

I dont know man, I had it all mapped out. It looks like a 15t 48t combo would be cool. I am sorta computer illiterate when it comes to saving stuff and finding it. I will maybe try again.

No it keeps crashing and trying to send a error report. I am tired of messing with it.
