A lot lighter than stock
I put this sprocket kit on my friends kan-o-tuna 600. We went from the 530 to the 520 kit which saved ~ 1.5lbs. it was easy to install, just like any other kit. its not the best looking, but who cares its a sprocket lol. overall id say its a great product and if you are in the market for a new kit this wont dissapoint you.

530 to 520 conversion not for me
It was nice while it lasted however the slight increase you get in acceleration is not worth the cost in wear. Plan on replacing a 520 conversion every 5K. I'm back to the 530's and will stay there...Unless you really need every ounce of performance you can get and have the cash to burn.

Changing Chain and Sprockets?
I have a 2005 GSXR600 and i want to change chain and sprockets. I was told stock is 16/45 525 x 112. I am looking for more torque so I want to go down one tooth and go to 520. What would be my best chain and sprocket kit option?

The brand is personal preference. Going with a larger rear sprocket will give you better low end response but will cut a little off of your top end, the same is true by using a smaller front sprocket. The ratio you use is something you may want to ask someone with the same bike and riding style as yourself, because the most important thing is that it suits your riding style.

More torque = down in front and/or up in back. The conversion to a 520 kit will not improve torque but it will decrease weight and unsprung rotational weight by a minimal amount.

Sprocket set up?
I have A 2007 Yamaha YZF-R6 that I stunt and I'm looking for a sprocket set up that will get it off the ground alittle easier but still drive it on the street could you help.

Well, its hard for me to make a fair recommendation for you regarding what gearing you should run (since its all really just a matter of personal preference, your bike and your riding style). However, going down a tooth in the front (or up three teeth in the rear) is a pretty common and "typical" way to go for most of today's 600cc bikes. Its definitely enough of a change in accelleration/snap that you'll be able to notice a huge difference in the way that the bike pulls up the front, yet its not so drastic that the bike becomes "unrideable" due to a lacking in top speed. If you have any further questions regarding "appropriate gearing", please feel to give us a call as we should be able to help you out over the phone!

Is a 520 sprocket right for me?
I resently purchased a 520 sprocket/chain setup for my GSXR-600. A friend informed me that because of my size (6'2",240lbs), that the teeth size in the 520 would not be safe over time. Any suggestions.

You will be fine. 520 will wear out a little quicker from you stock 525 set up but the tensile strength of the chains are fairly close comparing the higher end models
