This is a 520 conversion, variable gearing kit allowing you to choose the size of your sprockets. If you are looking for a standard gearing kit, please visit our Chain and Sprocket Kit section and filter the results by bike where you will find a Standard Gearing Kit specifically for your bike.
Kit comes complete with
-Supersprox Aluminium Rear Sprocket (choice of Size)
-Supersprox steel front sprocket (Choice of size)
This is usually a Supersprox steel countershaft sprocket, however some variants are offered in an alternative brand or model, and will be noted in the dropdown
-Choice of chain - You choose the make and model
We stock a selection of chains. You can choose the make, grade and colour in the dropdown. Note that each dropdown contains a manufacturer recommended maximum CC which we would advise you follow.
Chains on a "Choose Your Gearing" Kit are not standard length. Chains are provided longer to ensure you have enough to accommodate different sprocket sizes and different wheelbase lengths. Chains will need to be shortened to the appropriate length; which can be done with a chain tool. If you are not happy with the chain size, you're able to remove the chain from your basket, and add another chain to create your own kit.
All chains include a rivet link (with the exception of the DID 520 VX Pro Street - which also includes the clip link option). Rivet links will require a chain riveter to join. Extra links are available separately.
Please note that many kit images are stock images to represent the style and design of the kits being bought. Using the dropdown will allow you to select the specific items you require
Supersprox was founded in Wales in 1959, by Roger Maughfling. Roger was a passionate enthusiast and loved all things motorised, but particularly motorcycles. He opened a motorcycle repair shop in Mid Wales. Following WW2, parts were in short supply, so Roger began to make his own sprockets for bikes in the shop. Eventually the motorcycle repair shop turned into a small sprocket production factory. The company grew, and the market began to demand higher quality parts. By 1975, the company had its own product name (Supersprox) and was to be found on bikes rolling out of Husqvarna, Maico, Triumph and Norton. Supersprox are now true world leaders in the production of performance motorcycle sprockets, from Aluminium rear sprockets and steel countershaft sprockets to the beautifully designed Stealth Sprocket which mixes the best of both to provide longevity, style and weight saving. Supersprox are suppliers and technical partners to many motorcycle producers inc KTM, Husqvarna, Honda HRC and Yamaha.
Supersprox Stealth Sprockets
What is a Stealth Sprocket?
A Stealth sprocket is a steel sprocket, riveted to an alloy core or centre. This provides the best combination of weight saving and the longevity of a steel sprocket - similar to a floating brake disc.
Are they better than aluminium?
A stealth sprocket will outlast any aluminium sprocket by up to 3 times. There is the extra weight, however the steel section of the sprocket is relatively small and the extra weight is easily outdone by the longevity.
Are they better than steel?
It will last as long as a steel sprocket, but it isn't possible to create the level of strength with a steel sprocket of the same weight as a Stealth sprocket. You may find light steel sprockets, however they will not be as durable or be able to handle the torque produced by modern bikes.
Are the rivets strong enough?
Supersprox have been riveting sprockets for over 20 years, they have installed over 6 million rivets and not had a single failure.
It's known that a Stealth sprocket has covered 20,000 miles and they are used by factory teams in the Dakar Rally and Baja 1000.

We as bike riders like to shop in two ways for a chain and sprockets.
We either
Want to know what was on the bike without counting all the teeth, links, and having to read the manual, or
We want choice
A bike comes out the factory with gearing suitable for most roads and most conditions, but it is always a balance. If you ride high speed roads all the time, or just go on a out on a country road blast, the requirements of the gears is very different.
If you ride track days or race, the variations will be even more important, more acceleration, higher top speed or maybe longer or shorter wheelbase; there are so many combinations.
Riders will often have a preference, but that may not suit you, so always feel free to try different gearing ratios- especially if you ride on the track. Your efforts won't be wasted, even if you find the +3 on the rear isn't quite right at Donnington; ithe sprocket will still be fresh, and you you can use it again, and may find it's perfect at Mallory Park.
Understanding Gear Ratio
The gear ratio, is the ratio of turns made by one gear compared to the other gear, when the gears are connected by a chain. An example of gear ratio will be with one gear of 10 teeth and the second gear of 20 teeth, giving a ratio of 2 (20/10=2). To calculate the ratio, divide the number of teeth on the rear sprocket, by the number of teeth on the front sprocket and the resulting number is your gear ratio.
GEAR DOWN. An example of this would be, that the bike is difficult to start in first gear and the clutch needs to be used more than you would like. You have plenty of top end speed, but need more slow speed control. The answer, might be to GEAR DOWN the bike. You can do this by adding more teeth to the rear sprocket or reducing the number of teeth on the front sprocket.
GEAR UP. The opposite situation, might be that the bike has lots of power, but is reaching the rev limiter in top gear and you would like to reduce the revolutions at a particular speed. To do this, you would need to GEAR UP the bike. By reducing the number of teeth on the rear sprocket or increase the number of teeth on the front sprocket.
Diameter of gear.
Each tooth added or taken away from a sprocket, will reduce the diameter of the sprocket by a given amount. For simplicity, you can think about 5mm change on the diameter, for each additional or reduced tooth. This will help understanding in relation to space requirements for gear ratio changes.
Chain length.
The addition of teeth to the sprocket, may require a longer chain or changing the position of the rear wheel, by moving that backwards or forwards. It will depend on the addition or subtraction of sprocket teeth. This can be calculated by considering the chain pitch. For simplicity, you can think about each chain link requiring 16mm length (actually 520, 525, 530 chains require 15.875mm per link to be exact). But the chain is going around the rear sprocket and the front sprocket, so the important number would be the change in diameter of the sprocket and not the chain length. An example would be to remove one tooth from the rear sprocket. This would make the chain more loose and to correctly adjust the chain, you would need to move the rear wheel backwards (away from the small sprocket) by 5mm. This movement would compensate for the change in diameter. Due to chain construction, it is not possible to remove only one link and it is neccasary to remove even numbers of links (2, 4, 6, 8 etc).
General Rules
Changing the front by 1T equates to approximately 3T on the rear
Reducing the number of teeth on the front has the a similar effect as increasing the number of teeth on the rear. And vice versa
Reducing the front/Increasing the rear - Increases acceleration
Increasing the front/Reducing the rear - Increases top speed
On 520-525-530 chains, each tooth change will move the wheel back or forward by approx 5mm - changing by 3T would require adding or removing 2 chain links to keep the wheel in the same location
Remember - a new chain will be shorter than the old one due to wear.
View our gear ratio chart below to see how adjustments will affect your bike
Work out where the standard ratios of you bike sits, then see what your desired combination will become. The bigger the difference, the more the change.
Standard Gearing* - This kit is available with either a selection of chains, please check the recommended CC to ensure it will suit your bike.
Choose Your Gearing - This kit comes with a choice of front and rear sprockets, and a choice of chains from DID, RK or Afam. Chains are always longer so you can adjust the length to suit your gearing or riding style.

If you don't need a full kit, you can also buy Chains and Sprockets separately.
Chain Length
Consider that you want a chain to fit the sprockets that you are purchasing. If the bike takes a standard chain of 112 links, and you are increasing the sprocket by 3 teeth, its likely the original chain length will fit, although this will slightly shorten your wheel base, and you may want a 114 Link chain. Most importantly, you can always shorten a chain, but you shouldn't ever lengthen it. Spending a couple of quid extra on a longer chain, saves you a lot against having to get another one.
As a result, any "Choose Your Gearing" kit, comes with a 120 Link chain to allow you to make adjustments as required.
If you know the size you want, choose your kit individually.
