550 K3 520 chain ?
« on: October 09, 2022, 07:27:15 AM »
Hi to all members,

Long time since I've been on the forum, lots of other bikes and mundane things to sort out !

Does anyone know of any sprockets that are a straight fit on the 550 but are for 520 chain size ? I am about to replace chain and sprockets on mine and would like the smaller (lighter and generally cheaper to purchase) 520 chain,

If there's no straight fit sprockets in 520 size I'll stick with 530 even though it's bigger and heavier than a bike of this power needs

Any help much appreciated,

Regards to all
Ozzy

Have very ocasionaly seen special order kits but nothing regularly and you would need high quality chain so probably dearer than 530 kit, dont forget NOT O RING

Cos the 530 O ring is too wide and gouges the crankcases
