    Hmmm..considering you may have seen me get down and look at the chain on that FZR ?....All i saw was a rusty 428 sized chain..I guess the Darbi catalogue is wrong as per my post on the previous page.....that being the first post to answer.?

    I think i may have wasted my time starting around the time i woke up that day.

    hmm, you may be right. I honestly wouldnt have a clue. Frosty's sending me the 520 so I guess i'll find out... I really couldnt see anything on either of those links either....

    EDIT: was the chain really that bad? I couldnt really tell....

    I will be sending a 520 x 120 RK heavy duty -thats 520 width and 120 links
    This allows for any variation in sprocket size the last owner may have made.
    You will need to feed the chain on and split it to suit the gearing you decide to run on the bike when you buy the replacement rear sprocket.

    Why the big difference?

    Cos of what speed we were doing?
    Or the head on wind factor?

    I found my fuel consumption was strange going down there.
    But better coming back.

    Goes to show what happens when sitting on a nice consistent speed going down.
    Lets just say anyone would have heard me coming on the return trip (speed limit though built up area's,as you do)...The TL was booming and the suspension was working well at speed... I can not imagine riding anything but a big Twin.

    Mate I could hear you when you were riding behind us......
    That bike has one awesome sound.


    Mind you we heard you coming from afar when we were sitting at MacDonald's at the Bombay BP awaiting your arrival.

    I went throu more fuel on the way down than coming back...
    hence me saying it was strange fuel consumption....
    Never had that happen before...... so time to get the baby tuned up me thinks.

    I feel your pain Frosty.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Maybe it was because you were going UP on the way back. You do know the earth is round and not flat don't you...and Auck's is 'UP' ..

    Yith. Only the ignorant would speak of going down to Auckland. it is like London. always UP going toward it, no matter whence thou comest. So from Whangarei , it is UP to Auckland, and from Wellington it is UP to Auckland. And down to both from Auckland.

    The chain the fzr takes is actually a 428x116. Just been on the phone to a few shops about it, so a 520 isn't actually the correct chain. Would a 520 fit with a sprocket change though?

    Perseverence! Everything I read on google says if it isn't a 520 then it's a 428 BUT a 520 conversion kit is THE WAY TO GO. Get 520 sprockets to suit the chain Frosty has said is waiting for you. Do you want them to last 50000ks or 20000??
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
