... and you should be happy with the DID Xring chain. I run that same chain on my GS, and will be on the GSXR this winter.

When I make my conversion I will use a non O ring high quality chain.((I will keep it oiled constantly)) The 1100 is slowly just becoming a local around town street racer((Hog Eater)). I will use the kz1300 for any longer rides.
I sent an E-Mail to a guy who sells JT sprockets, and this is the answer I got re: my '83 GS1100ED:
Hi Kevin,
We don`t actually list a 530 conversion, but it`s easy to do using
Bandit or GSXR sprockets.
Your original gearing is 15/42, it`s not a good idea to use the same
sizes when converting to 530, due to possible clearance problems between
chain and swing arm.
I would recommend the following as a conversion;
Front = JTF513-17
Rear = JTR816-48
Spacer = JTF518B
Hope this helps.
Regards
Jim Irwin

The stock chain on my Reflex was an X-ring and it stood up to road riding, dual sport use and Trials competition for 14 years before I finally had to replace it. Actually the chain still wasn?t quite worn out but the sprockets were shot.

Regarding the spacer is anyone able to give the dimensions required.
So far I know it has to be 6mm thick. Judging by the diagram would the inner diameter be 25mm? I'm not sure what the outer diameter should be though :? Perhaps 35mm?? :? :?
Anyone have any info
Cheers

I went to the local hardware store and bought some BIG washers.
Placed then, 2 of them behind the sprocket and then installed the sprocket
and chain.
Before closing it up, ran the bike in gear, not even close to the swingarm
or pivot. Sat on the bike, off the stands, again no clearance issues.
I did this on a 1980 GS1000S......about 800 miles so far, no problems.

Okay so I finally got the chain and sprockets on about three weeks ago. Here are some answers to questions that have been asked.
AOD, the Sunstar sprockets were both steel.
When I looked in the Dennis Kirk catalog for sprockets I used the ones they listed for the 90-98 GSXR 1100 conversion to 530 chain.
Mike, As far as the 6mm spacer goes , what I did was , take apart the factory sprocket ( it's a three piece thing held together with 3 countersunk screws). Then I took the outer piece, The one with the countersunk holes and the splines to fit the countershaft and used that as my spacer. I also had to carefully grind off the lip on the outer edge that held the rubber damping ring on. This was to make sure I was going to clearance the chain adequately. If I remember correctly the outer piece also has a recess on one side. That recess needs to go on the inside closest to the motor, because I think that the spacer is closer to 8mm thick, but the recess allows it to move inboard enough to compensate for the difference in thickness and allow your sprockets to line up.

Just an update on my conversion to my S model, no problems after about 1K miles.
I've adjusted the chain once,lubed it numerous times.
No rubbing anywhere that I can see.
The E model will be done next, when I have some extra $$$.
Maybe over the winter.....
I'm having too much fun riding them both. About 1K miles on the S and
about 750 on the E.
Not to hijack this, but I did get the E back after replacing front and rear suspension with new Progressive, both ends.
Amazing what a difference.

Nice! lots of info about a straight 530 conversion here!
But what if I want to do a 530 conversion and also put the chain 3/8th more to the outside for example? Are there any standard countersaft sprockets that I can use in that case :?: Can I just fill out the rear sprocket and use longer bolts?

Robin,
I used plain old steel washers from a general hardware store.
I'm sure that a competent machinist would be able to fabricate a bushing
and align the chain/sprockets.
Same as installing a larger rim/tire. Some components may need to be adjusted, such as the brake stay arm.
I also have a GS1100 swingarm on the S and of course on the E model.

Keith the problem is that you can't put it more to the outside because you then can't fasten it anymore so what I mean is that I need a countershaft sprocket with sort of a dish shape to it or offset, and who makes those things?
There are lots of offset sprockets to choose from....All the race shops carry them...3/8 out to 3 inches...

I'm doing mine this weekend. I going back to the stock ratio of 15/42. The bike has 14/42 on it now. I know I will loose a little power, but I will also gain a smidge with the 530 conversion. I should see a little better fuel mileage also. I will post when I get it done to let you know the differance.

I'm running 17/43 (stock 15/41). Only complaint is that it's a bit luggish off the line, but as soon as you get it moving smoothly it's no different than stock, other than a bit lower RPM at highway speed and a smoother, lighter chain motion.
