Anyone changed their chain and sprockets from #630 to #530?
I need to know what makes (honda, yamaha, etc) use the same countershaft spline size, and what makes use rear sprockets with the same bolt pattern spacing.

To convert to the 530 chain you need a 6mm thick washer on the front spline. The following bikes use the same front sprocket (for a 530 chain):

GSF1200S Bandit
GSF600S Bandit
GSXR750 86-97
GSX600F Katana 88-02
SV650 all
GSX750F Katana 89-01
YZF600R 94-02
FZR600R 89-99
ZX600A/B/C/D/E Ninja
All the KZ650s except the KZ650 H CSR
KZ750 76-79
ZX750 Ninja 87-94
VN800 Vulcan 95-02
ZX-9R Ninja 94-01

Rear Sprocket:

GSXR750 90-95
GSF1200S Bandit

Hap, I can't find my 530 chain, nor can I find my 630 chain. Which one do I have?

This is for the 1100 right?
 
Last time I bought sprockets from Dennis Kirk they asked me if I wanted to convert to 530. I believe they can set you up with everything you need....

But you still have a chain whirling around in your engine :twisted:
 
Yeah, but it's clean and enclosed, in an oil bath. That's the only kind of chain I like.

Yes, Scotty. I'm a consistent pain in the tush, eh?
 
THANKS Hap! I am assuming that the same sprockets would fit both the 650 and 1100.

Just reach in your pocket. Take out your watch and look at the chain.
If the little hand is on the five and the big hand is on the six, its 530.

My chain gets "rattled" every day at 530 and then again at 630 - does that count :?: 8)
 
So, to convert a GS1000 from 630 to 530 all I'd need would be a bandit 12 front and rear sprocket, chain and 6mm washer? The sprockets bolt straight on? What are the benefits in this, is it smoother and quieter? Less strain on the g/box? :lol: :lol:

I am not sure about a 650, or the early 750 but for a '80 GS1100E that is how you do it. I'm 95% sure that is also correct for the 4 valve 750.

They are lighter and roll easier, so they waste less hp. Racebikes are using 520 setups.
