I've read a few threads about chains and sprockets and I'm still not quite sure what to get.
I bought a cheap D2 Moto chain and now I've decided I don't want to risk my life with a cheap chain.
Rule of thumb is to replace sprocket with the chain but there are alot of conversion kits out there. I've read that vortex alumimum sprockets are weak.
My CBR1K has a 530 chain that comes stock. When I bought it, its been rusted to ****.
I was looking at buying this. It looks like a 520 conversion kit. I don't really care that much for more acceleration though it would be nice.

This 2nd link seems to be what I'm leaning towards. Key words in this ad are
"All sprockets are high grade anodised steel replacement sprockets made in Japan not cheap Chinese sprockets"
http://cgi.ebay.ca/CBR1000RR-04-05-...ccessories&hash=item336277dde5#ht_2963wt_1114
Can anyone give me some input on this?
Is there a disadvantage to dropping from a 530 to a 525 or 520?
