Changing to a 530 chain. Ratio? was created by Wizzard
Im changing to a 530 chain on my KZ 1000 stock was 15-33-630 Im changing to 16-42-530 I found this folowing info on another post.

multiple all the 630 numbers by 1.2 - 630 chain is 3/4", 530 chain is 5/8"

15T front becomes 18T
33T rear becomes 39.6T (or 40T)
92 link chain becomes 110.4 (or 110 links).

The key question is; are you happy with the stock gearing? Stock on the
KZ1000-A1
is 2.20:1 ratio (33 divided by 15).

So mine is a 2.20:1 ratio stock with the 530 set up the new ratio will be 2.625:1. Will this ratio be to much of a diference I do want more take off not woried about topend but still want it to be streetable. The gears I can get from local bike shop are 16t and 17t front sprocket and 38t,42t,44t,46t should I go with a different set up??

Also the sprockets are going to be 54.00 for rear
35.00 for front
134.00 110 link
green chain
all these prices are in canadain prices are these good or bad prices??

Thanks for any info or ideas

seems expensive. You need to shop around.

Although for my 650, I only paid $80 or so US dollars for my 530 chain, and $40 for BOTH sprockets.

not sure what that is in CDN $'s

$1.12 Canadian equals $1.00 US at the moment (just checked Official Exchange Rate). Then if you order from the US you have to add in shipping and Duties (really expensive if you use UPS, so don't).

Well made the leap and talk to Jeff at Z1 and ordered a 530 setup 17t front and 41 rear should make a good diference. Thanks everyone and thanks Jeff!!
