RE: 520 Conversion

For our bike, a 520 conversion would definitely not be considered an "upgrade". You can see how small that rear sprocket is, which means the chain needs to handle tremendous tension when that torquey 1140cc motor yanks on it. As stated above, a smaller chain is going to stretch quicker, and probably wear out stuff a lot quicker. In my opinion, it's totally not a worthwhile consideration. (Trust Honda on this one!)
