Hey, how is everybody? Im doing alright... just doin some more shopping for my bike

The previous owner of my 2003 CBR 600 RR decided to change gearing (1 down front, 2 up rear). At first I didnt like it... but I'm getting used to it, and actually liking some of the advantages. But.... I need a new chain!

any suggestions on a chain? What size "should" I need.... is there anyway I can tell if the sprocket change also changed my chain size? (520-530 :S) how do I tell what I need?

Thanks for any and all help,

Chris

OK... now that Ive got the sizing down...

What would you suggest for a 520 chain. Im going "bang for the buck" here. I dont want to spend bookooo money on a chain, but I also know I need to spend some.... chain snaps are dangerous :S

thanks for any help,

Chris
