I would definitely go for a 520 with a lightweight steel front sprocket and also get a lightweight rear disc in the future! It's meant to make a noticeable difference to your bike. Not that it needs it.Perkles wrote:I am sticking with standard 525 and steel for now but gone for a Gold bling chainCav wrote:New chains and sprockets look so good!

I would normally agree but I dont think I need more power/performance on this bike ,Just a quieter exhaust and tune up to smooth it all outCav wrote:I would have to agree having had an R1 conrod break mineBlade wrote:Essential Mod IMOKwacky wrote:Radiator guard for the MV

Also, I wouldn't bother with an aluminium rear sprocket for road use, the lateral rubbing and on/off throttle kills them.
While all that is technically true CAV, the fact the main load on the engine is turning the large mass of the rear wheel and working against the weight and drag of the bike as a whole, the inertia effects of the sprockets and chain really are negligible for the average punter.Cav wrote:Approximately 1.2lbs difference (for 120 links), plus narrower sprockets. The front effectively acts as a flywheel so you'll get a quicker increase in revs and the rear is pretty substantial to be fair. It'll be a much bigger difference for high speed turning and braking. It'll also increase engine braking slightly I believe.

Yeah, but you'll need to adjust your suspension and tyre pressures after you've eatenPerkles wrote: Will it get me to the cafe ok ?
