Identifying chain - 530 or 532 ? (RF900)

it is a 120 link but I wouldnt recommend it. You will probably do better geting a kit if you want to go that way. i would be more inclined to just stay with the 530.

dont tell me...i need the green one

seriously tho...isnt that rather expensive considering its US$? phil turnbulls said they could do an x ring for $175 and i was assuming they wouldnt be particularly cheap either

Here you go, RF900 530 conversion using JT
front sprocket part no. 513 -15Tooth
Rear 816 -42T
chain 110 links of 50 pitch chain.

after much grunting and consternation and pointing of lights into tiny little holes and peering at odd angles and gnashing of teeth (pun intended), we have the following

rear sprocket: 816 43T P.B.R.
front sprocket: 566 15T P.B.R.
chain: RK - 50 XSO - 1126

as far as the chain goes, I'm assuming its 50 pitch, XSO?? 1126?? who knows....will investigate this further

After the initial stretch when I fitted 520 to the superbike, the DID xring barely needed adjustment over an entire actrix series worth of racing...6 meetings. So I think wear factor with that chain will not be an issue. You would prob save some gas too!
