    $409 chain!

    The 532 chain for my RF is $409... can you believe that sh@t!
    it's cheaper to buy a complete kit (sprockets & chain) in a 530 for $287

    I might just buy a new bike instead...

    Hey Wayne.

    Word on the RF list is you'd have to be a bloody mug to put a 532 on.

    Go the 530.

    Moto Mart advertise a 530 conversion set in their catalogue. I'm sure you could find something at an even sharper price if you look.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Just make sure you dont be too cheap and buy a shitter that will break and do a lot of damage to your cases. Stick with oring at least and solid bishes not rolled.

    Good point dude.

    From memory the one that Moto Mart were advertising (530 chain + both sprockets) was an O-ring chain. X-ring would be cooler but they didn't offer it. Not too sure why. Surely the chain would be a similar length to a GSXR1100. Though maybe it's a bit longer.

    Does anyone else know if there's a decent 530 conversion with an X-ring chain for the RF900?

    The Motomail catalogue lists both a DID and an RK 530 X-ring conversion kit for the RF900. Give them a call for an up to date price (0800 MOTOMAIL).

    My RF had the conversion done before I bought it.

    word on the street is that you should convert to shaft drive. You get 110 + horsepower extra and the chicks dig it .....
    Not even with yours!!!

    Slightly off topic, but what are the advantages of going to a different sized chain?
