popping the clutch will for sure bring the front end up, these bikes really don't make enough torque to do a burn out unless your grabbing the front brake and trying to light'em up

lol I really hate how they categorize it as Stage 1 and 2. Just so you know, the 520 kit refers to the chain size (pitch/width). So 520 chain is smaller in comparison to a 525. And the idea behind it is, that it is less rotational mass. And less rotational mass means less work for your engine to have to keep that chain spinning around to power your rear wheel. 520 chain will also most likely wear out a bit quicker than a 525, but it's also a bit cheaper.

If you go with a 520 chain, you'll need 520 sprockets as well. But it seems as if that web site offers it as a package anyway.
