Whats the difference 525/520 conversion

What is the difference between a 525 pitch and 520? Is there any gain to either one? I want to change the gearing on my 06 gsxr600. Any one familiar with Loudon if you have a recomedations as to what i should use it is really apprecated. THANKS

 

520's alot smaller and lighter.

 

does it effect its strengh and overall wear??

 

Wear, yes. A 520 chain on a ZX-10R will last about a season. Two-and-a-half seasons on a ZX-6R.

Strength isn't really an issue, either.

As for the other part of your question, that'll depend on the ratios you pick.

I have found that it is much easier to get your hands on a 520 chain quickly than a 525.

 

To answer your question, the pitch is the same.

The width is different.

 

thank you guys
