Re: Cycle whore thread
ok cool, THANKS for the reply with good advice.. I was quoted by a Local dealer in Woodbridge $500 to replace chain and sprockets... lol
I have been looking around online and need to find a Chain Kit to order.. I guess I will go with a DID 520 and Standard Teeth Sprockets since I ride on the highway daily.. Renthal Sprockets and DID Chain.. Maybe these?

I am pretty sure that the 636 is a 520 chain stock and that it is only Yamaha that has the larger chains on their 600's
Were you changing your gearing at all or just converting to 520?

I can tell you that a DID chain will be one of the most expensive chains that you can get. Other chains would work just as well for regular riding. If you were doing clutch launching, hard shifting, or wheelies... I could see spending the extra money for it if that be the case. But even an x ring ek should do great and save you money. I would suggest a down 1 up 2 set up for sprockets... Having owned an 05 and an 06 636... They are a little sluggish on the bottom side. Would probably help the all around power with a sprocket upgrade.

I do some twisties and hard acceleration through them from time to time.. No tracks, Drags, or Wheelie Riding or stunting.. Just normal riding 60 miles M-F Each day to work.. To be honest.. When it comes to Chains and sprockets I am fucking clueless... Could you find a chain for me and post a link to which one I should get?

I am thinking about which one to get, I just need a standard 108 Link 520 Chain.. THATS IT, No wheelies, Stunting, Tracking or anything.. Hitting a few twisties here and there but thats it! Highway riding mostly.
