I ran an X-ring 520 onmy 929 for 2.5 years. No problems or premature wear. Lighter too.

thats the main thing i hear about 520 is that the chains/sprockets wear out too fast. boogie you geared up wit a 530?

530 is strong, 520 is lite. Its your pick, which do you want.

yup i never ran anything else? i mean is the weight diff. that noticable?

maybe thats why i only get 3-4 HC circs chains too heavy


but seriously is it noticable to go lighter? i been running the 530 since i learned to stunt a little over a yr. and half ago.

maybe i'll try the lighter set up

Just go with gearedsteelproducts.com you won't have to worry about wear, the 520 chain should last plenty long if you maintain it. If you are shitty at maintence then any chain will wear out.

I think the lighter chains respond better for better engine break. I've read this somewhere...anybody know about this being true?

less rotational mass would mean more engine break,more mass rotating would induce inertia fightinng engine brake.

Wanna do a real upgrade to a stock bike to beat the same model, buy some light aftermarket wheels and 520kit, you'll smoke the same bike ez
