A 525 chain may run on 520 sprockets, but a 520 chain is too narrow to run on 525 sprockets.

Is a 520 or 525 chain better?

People will bring up the fact that 520 chains will wear out faster than 525/530 chains. Ultimately, if you start to nitpick, yes, they will. The tensile strength of the very top chains will be slightly higher (my EK520 chains’ rating is 9400 where the top DID 530 is roughly 10400).

Can you use 520 sprocket on 530 chain?

The OP asked if a 520 sprocket could be used with a 530 chain, the answer to this is yes it can without any ill side effects, its not any more likely to jump off than if it were on a 530 sprocket.

What is the difference between 520 and 525?

The 5 part just describes the distance between the centers of the link pins (or wherever on the links, basically how long a link is) and the next two numbers describe the width of the chain. So a 520 chain is going to be narrower than a 525(and thus require a narrower front and rear sprocket) and lighter…

How thick is a 525 sprocket?

Front sprocket 525, inner 21.5/27mm, thickness 8.5mm, 17 teeth.

What’s the difference between a 520 and a 530 motorcycle chain?

A 520 chain is a smaller pitch chain. Pitch being the distance between rollers. The 520 is a lighter weight chain than the 530. That is why people switch to the 520, but it may not last as long as a 530.

What is the difference between 525 and 530 chain?

The difference between a 525 and 530 chain have to do with the width of the rollers, with the 530’s being about 1.5 mm wider. Since the sprockets on the SV are designed for a 530, it may be that they are too wide for the 525.

What does 520 mean on a chain?

(3) The size of a chain is designated by a three-digit number (520, for example). The distance from the center of one pin to the center of the next is called pitch. Pitch is represented by the first digit, which is 4, 5 or 6.

Will a 530 chain fit a 525 sprocket?

Bicycle and Motorcycle Chain Dimensions

What’s the difference between 520 525 and 530 chain?

Having the same pitch means they will all fit on the thinner sprocket. 520, 525, and 530 will all fit on a 520 sprocket, but a 530 sprocket will only fit a 530 chain. Except in emergencies, you should always match the chain size to the sprocket size.

Are all 525 chains the same size?

However, keep in mind that chains come in different sizes and they fit only specific sprockets. For instance, if your bike features a 525 chain, it means any 525 chain will work on your bike (with the right number of links of course).
