there are different 520 chains. some are much stronger than others.


my 520 lasted on a 1000 with spray for a long time, atleast till I sold the bike lol.

i bought my EK gold chain and rear sprocket specialist + front sprocket for 185 shipped from motomummy. great people in my experience.

tensile strength rating is what your looking for.


i'd have to look it up since its been a while but the 520 i went with was the same as the old stock 530 i took off. 10,000lbs i believe.
