Sprockets and chain change

[staticghost]

Hi All,

I will be replacing my front and rear sprockets and updgrading to x ring chain. I will be keeping it stock 530.
I have found a D.I.D. kit for $185:
D.I.D. 530VM Chain & Steel Sprocket Kit - YAMAHA 600/1000's - Sprocket Center
Do you think this is to much? Any other recommendations?
Thanks.

I agree with your choice of staying with the 530 chain and steel sprockets. The weight savings are truly insignificant (under 2 lb.) vs. the extended life of the stock setup.

I bought an R-K 530XSOZ1 chain, rivet link and front/rear sprockets for ~$162 back in October 08. So, your pricing is right about there.

Pull the trigger!

Oh Nice. Do you know if D.I.D. is better than RK chains?
Would you happen to have the link to the site you bought yours from. Sales person told me that it should be 118 link/lenght chain. I will be having this professionaly installed, because this is one thing I do not want to play around with so I want to make sure I get the exact parts for my mod. Am also going to be buying new tires (Pirelli Diablo Strada) so I want to do this mod at the same time to save on labor costs u know.

1- R-K, DID, Regina, Tsubaki, EK are all quality brands, it's really all about pricing at this point.

2- I bought from a local distributor here in SoCal: www.apexmoto.com They might be able to get it to you shipped for close to the $185 you got from Sprocket center.

3- 118 links is correct

How many links are required for a 15/48 sprocket combination?
