If you want to cover your azs, get rid of the stock chain.

520 chains

Red, I use a 520 chain on my track bike / ride day bike and works well.

Sprockets werent a problem to buy at all , --- the local Suzuki dealer. I use a Regina chain.

Must stress this bike is not used for drag racing.

Some 520 chains may be stronger than the stock Busa chain . . .

Red, I never found any. Most were 20% to 30% on UTS quoted figures by manufacturers.

What do you intend to use the bike for?

Theory is correct.... less mass in chain and sprocket set , hence inertia.

Is the bike being used for drags or track bike?

Ok , so far my chain has been used on the road , track and numerous  high speed passes  on a Salt lake here including a couple over 200mph--chain looks in good health and no stretch to mention. Once again its not subjected to burnouts or drag racing.

I saw a guy at Lake Gairdner ( salt lake )this year on a Kawa 1000 turbo drag bike break the chain on a run and took out the clutch housing. Who knows what condition  the chain was in before the run. It was a 530 HD spec
