530 conversion

23 Feb 2012 01:05

Hey guys. I am about to order new front and rear sprockets (and chain) and plan to do the 630 to 530 conversion.

Is JT Sprockets the only place that has this conversion set up? I see they have all the conversion info on the Z1 site.

Plus, any suggestions for the chain? I've used DID o-ring in the past with good results.

Thanks.

Am thinking Z1E also lists the 530 chain and sprockets.

Good Fortune! :)

I replaced my original chain with a DID o-ring chain 15,000 miles ago and so far I've only had to adust it about 1/16th of an inch. I have a NOS Kawasaki original endless loop chain in my parts bins that I will install when the DID wears out, but at the rate it's going the DID may outlast me. I keep it lubed with Chain Wax. Ed
