Snell & EK 520 X-Ring Chain & Sprocket Kit

A versatile chain & sprocket kit where you can choose the sprocket sizes yourself!

With the help of our chain and sprocket guide, you can easily find the right ones for your motorcycle. If you want the original caulking, you can choose the corresponding sprocket and chain from the list.

The sprockets:
All Snell sprockets are laser cut, unlike some other sprockets which are made by punching. In manufacturing, advanced technology is used to get the perfect cut to increase the sprocket’s durability. If your chain is well maintained, you can expect a lifetime of + 3000miles depending on the surface. All Snell sprockets have a black anodised “Electroplated” surface which gives a smooth finish and also increases the sprocket’s durability.

The chain:
EK chains are Japanese quality chains made with raw materials of the highest quality for best results and longest service life. All EK chains are pre-stretched twice before delivery for minimal aftershocks.

The X-ring chain has a better service life than a standard chain, and this chain also has relief holes in the links to reduce the total weight of the chain by about 3% without compromising the tensile strength. The average tensile strength of the chain is: 37.8 (kN) and 8700 (LBS)

Comes with clip lock.

Here’s how to choose the right sprocket and chain for you:

Changing the size of the front or rear sprocket is a very simple and popular way to change the character of your motorcycle.

1: For better acceleration, change to a smaller front sprocket and/or a larger rear sprocket.

2: To get maximum speed, change to a larger front sprocket and/or a smaller rear sprocket.

If you replace 1 tooth at the front, you will notice about the same difference by replacing 3 tooth at the rear. On most motorcycles, you notice a big difference by changing one tooth on the front sprocket, and it is recommended to start by making small changes.
To maintain the correct angle of the chain, you should fairly distribute the changes between the front sprocket and the rear sprocket. It is better to replace 1 tooth on the front + 3 teeth on the rear sprocket than 6 rear teeth, for example.

When changing the size of the sprocket, you may also need to change the length of the chain.
On almost all motorcycles, you can switch to 1 tooth larger or smaller on the front/rear sprocket, but still maintain the original length of the chain.

If you do need to change more than 1 tooth, you often need to change the length of the chain. The following is a good general rule to make use of:
If you switch to a sprocket with 2 more teeth, you will need a longer chain with 1 extra link.

Also bear in mind that all chain lengths go up in sets of 2, so you may need to cut the chain.
In some cases, you will not need to cut it and you can adjust the axle blocks on the wheel axle.

A link on the chain corresponds to an adjustment of 8-10 mm on the axle block.
If you need an extra link on the chain and have the option to adjust 8-10 mm on the axle block, you can buy a chain that is 2 links longer and avoid having to cut the chain.

Suitable for bikes up to 800 cc.
