    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I see on e-bay someone offering a "kit" for changing the heavy 630 chain to a lighter 530 chain. He will include the front and rear sprockets (you can specify how many teeth you want). I was needing a new chain/sprocket for the 1000. Any downfalls anyone can see by making this change?? Has anyone done this?
 
Did it last year on my 1000S.
NO problems at all.


I went with a good RX chain and steel sprockets.
Put a big washer on each side of the front sprocket, like .79$ each at the hardware store.
Stock gearing, runs great, no excessive chain stretch or wear.

No issues........


It's buried in here somewhere.maybe performance mods?

edit.........found it

hmmmmmm

Hard to tell.
the front sprocket look like it may have some offset to it.
I'd ask them a question via ebay about it
Or go to their web site and ask.
If anything it'll cost less tah n$2 for the spacers from the hardware store.
No worries.

The buy it now of $139 is a decent deal. What brand sprockets?
just curious
 
Enquire as to what you are getting?? It says O ring chain available ???????????
 
I'd be curious as to the quality of the chain and sprockets. Might be good stuff or it might be not so good. You could assemble this set yourself for about $80 out of the JC Whitney catalog or a little more for name brand stuff from Dennis Kirk. The Dennis Kirk catalog used to list the components required for a 630 to 530 conversion too....

I asked him the questions... his response:


"6mm washer supplied, 25 extra for the chain.
steel sprockets, excellent quality from a major
sprocket supplier."
