That's true. QualitySmart is the only place I've seen so far. And the price isn't bad for a sprocket set. Just find a chain somewhere else.Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

Here is where I got my Vortex sprockets from with the upgraded 530 chain for $20.00 more, and, you pick how many teeth you want on your sprockets. Total cost with XSO530 chain 159.00 plus shipping.
I would rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6.
It doesn't matter what they say about you as long as they spell your name right.

Originally posted by IntermisionWhat is a 520 conversion?
A 520 is a lighter, smaller standard that is commonly used for 200 to 500cc engines with lower power outputs than the Kat. It is sometimes used on larger bikes when the lifespan isn't nearly as critical as the weight savings (such as in racing applications, where chains need to only last a few qualifying laps and a race).
Other common, and some more uncommon sizes are:
525 - an oddity, usually only found on some 500cc bikes.
532 - another oddity, it was OEM on the late 80's/early 90's Kat 1100's.
630 - normally reserved for very powerful motorcycles, especially torque-rich monsters like the Busa and the ZX-14.
On the other end of the spectrum are tiny chains, such as:
420 - normally used for very small engined bikes, such as 50 to 125cc applications. Also regularly used in some bicycling applications.
425 & 430 - 125 to 400cc low-torque output uses, such as Chinese putt-putts.
Then there are two basic types of chains - sealed and unsealed. You definitely want sealed (X-ring, O-ring, W-ring, etc); unsealed won't last long and requires about five times the maintenance to get any good distance out of it before failure.
For everything you wanted to know about chains, see my webpage: Everything you wanted to know about motorcycle chain wear and maintenance.

I'm going to change the chain and sprocket over the winter. Came upon this thread and $180 sounded okay for the chain/sprocket set, but than I read this in item description:
"All XSO chains are clip type & GXW are rivet type"
I think I read on here that you want the rivet type chain or else you risk the clips failing and bye-bye chain? Because it's an additional $70 for the GXW rivet type, as opposed to an additional $20 for the XSO clip type.
Anybody try this set out?
Thanks.The Armor of God - Never leave home without it!
