What were we talking about again........ 
My gearing & chain are stock. Just yanking Limey's chain.Devious2xs said:Limey,
How do you like the 520 conversion?
I am considering this, but can't decide if I should go +2 on the rear sprocket at the same time and make 1st gear nearly useless.
Doc - How many links are you using? Or are you just telling Limey he's stubby.![]()
The 520 was on it with an Afam 43 rear when I got the bike and I've never had a problem with it apart from they don't last as long as stock. I like the 43 rear. Just gonna try the 44 to see how that works.Devious2xs said:Limey,

I got 14k out of the set up now, should have got a little more but I live on a dirt road and had probs with sand and grit for a while until I changed lube to the Dupont Teflon. The Afam 43 is totally shot and missing a tooth. The chain looks like it could of lasted a little longer, the Afam is a real light weight alloy and took most of the abuse.Devious2xs said:How many miles are you getting from the 520 chain?
How is the Afam 43t rear holding up?
Going 1up faster acceleration slightly lower top end.ThePope said:Ok if you go up one in rear does acceleration increase and top speed decrease or is that with going down one in the front???
Both have the same effect. Dropping a tooth in the front is about the same as adding 2-3 in the rear, both will give you better acceleration, but less top end.ThePope said:Ok if you go up one in rear does acceleration increase and top speed decrease or is that with going down one in the front???
