    So i have an 86 VF500F and considering going to a 520 chain. So can i use the stock sized (of course, NEW. Always replace sprockets and chains together.) front and rear sprockets? Or are there dedicated 520 sprockets to be used with 520 chains?

    much appreciation.

    If you go to a 520 chain, you'll need to buy 520 sprockets because the 520 is a narrower chain. Here's the difference: http://www.gearingcommander.com/

    Click on "Info" and then "Chain + Sprockets".
