street now,but am planning on some track when the weather turns in the spring.but 99% street
EK 530 X 112 ZZZ $145 chrome or gold, front sprocket $17 rear steel sprocket $40 or alum $60
GC, I'm gonna be in the market before too long as well..
Do you recommend steel or alum rear? The OE is alum..right? With 7300 miles, the teeth on mine are beginning to look a bit curved....
Also...what is the smart way to lower the ratio.. do the 16t front? or the 43t rear?

stock gearing is 17/40 with steel rear. alum is a good light sprocket but won't last near as long as steel. a very popular gear is 16/42 for the busa.
I've seen a lot of damaged alum, if you play a lot go steel IMHO
Use the PBI sprockets and you won't ever buy steel again...I have watched people bust them and gave them a Pbi one with a guarantee and they are still on the bike to this day with NO FAILURES....Street and Track Proven with big hp.
How much you weigh and what is your riding style should determine your sprocket tooth selection.
DJ "Sageronin" has a 520 chain on the Busa I built, he barreled past many in the mountains of WV last year. He also has BST wheels which reduces the wear on the chain. Same 520 chain for over 6000 miles now with zero issues. Spent two hours on the dyno today with that same chain, still rock solid.(yamahor @ Feb. 02 2007,11:39)Good price... I personally wouldn't trust a 520 chain with my hooligan antics. Golden Child, You might be hearing from me soon for a chain... depends on when I get my tax returns.
So for twisty carving its a must, if you are into proper set-up and performance. If you are a larger rider or spend a lot of time at the strip the 520 is not your choice. I guess the Moto GP and AMA bike's using a 520 chain with 200-240 hp+ powering out of turns, downshifting and so forth, guess their set-up guys need some help...
I need not say no more about the PBI Sprockets...Compare for yourself...New vs 12k miles....Hardly worn...and only changing now due to a wreck rebuild...
new on bottom,used on top...See any Distortion,twisting or not even a chain groove around edges....12k miles later...

i put a alum pbi rear and have 9k on it. still looks new
Yes a weekend at a level very few could even imagine. If I wanted a product tested that would be where I would test it, severe duty. Since we are sponsoring (3) AMA professional racers this year. We should have a lot of good data as to what works under pressure. My performance expectations are at the professional level and that will never change over the next 20 years that will become pretty well known.(BA BUSA @ Feb. 03 2007,23:21)(GPW @ Feb. 03 2007,17:35)DJ "Sageronin" has a 520 chain on the Busa I built, he barreled past many in the mountains of WV last year.

If you have invested considerable funds in your engine/chassis upgrades, you want the absolute strongest drive system you can get. Sidewinder “Ti-Series†is for you. This is the chain Robbie Knievel uses on all his death-defying, record jumps. What more can be said….(BA BUSA @ Feb. 03 2007,23:21)(GPW @ Feb. 03 2007,17:35)DJ "Sageronin" has a 520 chain on the Busa I built, he barreled past many in the mountains of WV last year.
